Removable headshells

I use the head shells made by Pete Riggle of VTAF and Woody tonearm fame. The headshells are made of wood, and only 6 grams. He also provides a 5 gram brass weight for when it needs to be heavier. Also, I love the finger lift he designed. Real easy to use.

Thanks everyone! It's all great input. My research reveals that there are more variables than expected with specs and ratings as I read and learn more about the subject. My take away here is to get a headshell in the 12 gram range to get started.  Also, one suggestion I have gotten is to try a Yamamoto headshell that is 10.6 grams. Any opinions about that one?

A difference of 1 or 2g can be ignored. Yamamoto makes excellent headshells. Go for it.

I wish I could help you, I have two Yamamoto headshells at my home in FL.  Tried them and didn't like them.  Unfortunately I am at my "summer" home right now in NH.  If you want to hold off 3 or 4 weeks I can gift you one.  They are excellent quality and highly regarded BTW.

@billstevenson Much appreciated but, I bought a Yamamoto before seeing your post. Thank you for the advice.

I also bought what's supposed to be a real Jelco headshell from Audio Sensibility. Evidently remaining stock from when they were a Jelco dealer. 

@lewm Thank you for your wise words.

@mulveling  Thank you too.
