Do you have any recommendations for headshell leads?

Headshell recommendations for AT33SA on SL1200G
Dynamic compliance of the AT33SA is
10×10-6cm/dyne (100Hz)
It will be around 17cu @ 10Hz and this is a starting point for calculation. AT33Sa weight is 6.9g I think 12g headshell could be more optimal than stock Technics headshell which is also nice. Anyway it's important to have different headshell in the arsenal, Technics is super lightweight and better for high-ish compliance, Ortofon LH-9000 is heavy one for low compliance. Maybe one more in the middle and you're done for mid compliance (for any cartridge). |
Dear @ericsch : I tested all these and even the Ikeda all silver that's very good as the cooper " brother ": https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ikeda-S40-Cartridge-Copper-Leads-MADE-JAPAN-/282890456369?hash=item41dd95cd31 https://www.ebay.com/itm/SME-5899-vdH-MCS-150-Wire-Cartridge-connection-leads-/273788176403?hash=item3fbf0c0813 https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Oyaide-HSR-AG-5N-Pure-Silver-Headshell-Leads-F-S-from-Japan/233219643836?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225074%26meid%3Daf58f1497a064789b39c4911210b6b21%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D174204263341%26itm%3D233219643836%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 https://zavfinousa.com/collections/vinyl-accessories/products/cryolitz-ag-pure-silver-headshell-leads R. |
I use the stock Technics headshell with my AT-33PTG/II on a Technics SL-1800MKII. I was concerned about weight of the headshell. I mounted the cartridge using bolts&nuts that are slightly longer than needed and upside down. That way the threaded ends extend a bit above the headshell. That configurations allowed me secure that little additional weight that came with my Denon DL-103 cartridge. I didn’t notice a huge difference. Adjusting the VTA helped too. |
