Arche Headshell and Technics 1200G

I am not sure if any other 1200G users have tried this headshell on their 1200G arm but I can say that so far after a couple hours of listening that it seems to be working very well. Has anyone else tried this combination?

Btw, alternatuives magnesium headshells for your 1200G. Maybe and just maybe one of them can outperform what you have, you have to test it are only alternatives : https://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDIO-TECHNICA-HEAD-SHELL-AT-MG-10-from-JAPAN-Japan-new/183366770516?epid=2... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-LS12-headshell-with-adjustable-azimuth/302816656736?hash=... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-MS9-Headshell-adjustable-azimuth/113137039830?hash=item1a... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-MS10-Headshell/223092162897?hash=item33f1544151%3Ag%3ABhE... https://www.ebay.com/itm/HIGH-QUALITY-AUDIO-TECHNICA-DISCONTINUED-MAGNESIUM-LT12-PHONO-HEADSHELL/263...

Those can be ordered as separates. This means as many headshells as one wants. One can even pre-adjust carts (eff. length) on them for fast exchange. Arche is actually a frame in which the parts can be screwed with precision screws and Allen keys. The insert piece need to rotate because of the SRA provision and is fastened with two steel axes with steel balls and (tension) springs. That is why flexible headshell wire is needed. The best quality clips are also needed because the same wire will be used for all insert peaces . Those made by Clearaudio are the best. Clearaudio silver headshell wire are expensive but the best for Arche.

Both will have all the adjustability of the current version of the Arche together with the same titanium bars. Release is scheduled for October 2018.
