Description

This QTX standard headshell gives you a simple way to mount most cartridges to your turntable tonearm. It comes supplied with the wires you need to connect to the cartridge, so you can get set up without hunting down extra parts. The design follows the common standard fitting, which means it works with a wide range of tonearms and cartridge types.

The headshell (sometimes just called the shell) holds the cartridge in place at the end of the tonearm and carries the signal through to your setup. Because it uses the standard mount, swapping cartridges or replacing a worn shell is straightforward. The included wires clip onto the cartridge pins in the usual way, and you can adjust the position of the cartridge to set your alignment and overhang.

This is a practical spare or replacement for turntable owners who want to keep a second cartridge ready to go, or who simply need a new shell after a knock or a worn one. It suits both home listening and DJ use, and the plain build keeps things easy to handle. If you already know your cartridge fitting, this headshell should slot in without fuss.
