I am using an Ortofon LH 9000 headshell with my Koetsu Urushi. The headshell weighs 18 g. But it costs a lot less than $300. To that you could always add more weight by various methods as you know. Your cartridge must be remarkably low in compliance.

It is. No cantilever. I went ahead and bought a Yamamoto that's 18.4 for a good price and the brass screws that soundsmith sells. I also saw a sme headshell spacer/weight on ebay that I ordered. Hopefully that'll get me heavy enough to use the extra SME counterweight. Highest mass possible is best for this cartridge. |
There are better looking screws (compared to SS) available from ebay, this what i've been using with my Reed 3p to add a bit of mass. Here is another heavy headshell from AudioCraft which i am using with low compliance carts on my SONY PUA-7. In my arsenal this is the heaviest shell. |
