Parts Express A-T Style Phono Headshell with Lead Wires & Gold Plated Contacts

Looks good, works good, great price, what more can you say! Listening to a Shure M91ed I just purchased a new stylus for that I have not listened to in 30 years. Ahhhhh.

It`s perfect, ground pins made a little longer so they make contact with tonearm connector first, simple but smart. My two other head shells despite being made by famous manufacturer doesn`t have that feature. connecting wires somewhat beefier than usual, gold plated connectors with heat shrink tubes, color coordinated. Silver sparkly paint.Looks great but I`d prefer unpainted version for a buck ot two cheaper.

Nicely finished. Fit an older AT cartridge and Yamaha S-shaped arm with no problems. Used the M3 screw hole to add a little weight per tonearm requirements. Gold-plated wire ends require care in connecting but no more than others. And it's half the cost of the name brand model!

Looks good, works, doesn’t cost much.

Exact copy of my AT headshells. No problems with connecting wires. My only complaint is this did not come from Parts Express, nor USA (as in Needle Store USA). Shipped from Canada, so expect it to take some extra time to ship (took me 12 days). Otherwise, well worth the wait. Excellent.

Bought 2 for use on my turntables. Quick shipping and it does the job. Price was better than similar products on Amazon and other websites.

The headshell itself was a good item and exactly what I wanted and would have been perfect ----- had it not arrived with very poorly soldered wires whose insulation wasn't even crimped onto the connectors as it should have been. Soon as I started trying to plug in the wires they started breaking off, but I will say the head shell itself is a nice piece, I just got a badly soldered set of wires. I emailed the seller asking if maybe they had another set of wires they could send but the did not and to their credit issued me a prompt and courteous full refund -- so I give them an A for good customer service. I don't think the seller intentionally sold me a bad part, just luck of the draw sometimes and this was my time-- Its a good headshell with gold connectors on the tonearm side, but if you buy one check the wires closely, and even if theyre bad you can remove them and attach another set of wires onto the contacts and all will be well -- Its a nice shell if you get a good set of wires.

Headshell metal is thick, heavy. Cannot get the headshell/cartridge assembly to balance on tonearm.

The shell worked great with my vintage turntables.Marantz 6300,pioneer pl-50 pioneer 530

Headshell is made of metal, which is nice. Wires are nice and snug and give a good connection.

Well made straight forward headshell but does not include any mounting screws for the cartridge and wire end sleeve contacts easily slip off the cartridge pins when installing.

Its metal, not plastic. Painted grey. Checked its metal with ohm meter! Std 4 pin plug. Works with Ortofon cartridge and should be fine with most other 1/2 inch mounts.

I dislike the top shape of this headshell. Because it has two angles it makes it difficult to correlate the proper tracking angle of the cartridge. Also I dislike the connecting wires, are too long, too stiff and the female end needs to be widen otherwise it wont fit into the pins of cartridges. This requires special tools which defeats the expectation of quick connects.
