Headshell

[kquail]

I settled on the cartridge I am getting for my turntable, it is the Audio Technica 120e ,,,i want to get a new headshell! is there any that anyone recommends ?
I am looking at a pickering headshell , but i would like to know other recommendations ! and possibly any info on what to look for in a headshell thanks

Those aren't too bad. I have one marked "Stanton" but it's otherwise the same as the "Pickering" one.

By the way, those aren't Pickering headshells. They're Chinese generics that happen to have the Pickering logo on them. That logo and a couple of screws costs you about $17.00. There is an eBay seller, save-vinyl, who sells those headshells "unbranded" for $12.95. They come in either silver or black.

I think LPgear has their own headshell. A bit on the heavy side, but they look quite nice. Another great alternative (if you can find them) are the ADC magnesium headshells.

In general, wouldn't you want the lightest, stiffest headshell you can get?

Mythless,,,, is Audio Technica MG-10 Magnesium Headshell as good as the adc ?
