Audio Technica AT-LH15H
Hard anodised aluminium headshell weighing 15 grams, with through-hole mounting slots that let you set overhang and azimuth properly rather than accepting whatever the fixed holes give you. Supplied with OFC lead wires.
The LH series exists in four masses precisely so you can match the arm to the cartridge rather than hope. At 15 grams this one suits lower compliance cartridges and most moving coils.
On headshell mass
Headshell mass is not a detail. It sets the effective mass of the arm, and with it the resonant frequency of the arm and cartridge together. That figure wants to land between roughly 8 and 12 Hz: below it you are into warp and footfall territory, above it and the resonance starts to intrude on the music. High compliance cartridges want a light headshell, low compliance moving coils want a heavy one. If you are unsure which way to go with your arm, ask us.
