Cartridge Headshell Match

donvito, Thanks for the calculator link. I’m assuming the effective tonearm mass includes the stock Technics headshell. Most of the combinations of headshells and cartridges I have or may obtain calculate to somewhere between 8 to 10. Maybe just over 10. Even if I use a 12.1g headshell with the Glider the res.freq. comes to 9.1 If I use the 12.1 with the heavier Ortofon comes to 8.8 Doesn’t seem completely out of whack. |
Using the HiFi New Test Record the Ortofon/Technics combo I got: Lateral 11 Hz Vert. 10 Hz Seems close enough. I figure the Benz should work with pretty much any of the headshells that have been recommended. Either the Jelco or LPGear Zupreme w/azimuth adjustment or another Technics style headshell without azimuth adj. but won't know until I actually try one. Thanks all. |
