Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Headshell for the technics sl1200 mk2 turntable. Easy to assemble with almost any cartridge. Works great on my technics sl-210.

A superb removable headshell. Works well and lasts for a while! Ordered this as a backup headshell.

Quality is top notch, no issues whatsoever. This is a little heavier than my last one, so i had to adjust the weight thing to compensate for that.

Although pricey, this headshell appears to be an oem unit. Bought to replace an old one that got messed up by transportation.



Cons

The headshell needs some internal grounding to work with that turntable, which this model doesn't have. Highly suspicious and likely a counterfeit panasonic part.
