Customer Q&A

4 questions already asked

Q
Does this headshell have the set-screw on the bottom for azimuth adjustment like the HS that came with the Technics SL-1210GR?

The Audio-Technica AT-HS10 does not feature a set screw to adjust azimuth, Trevor.

Q
Info states for S shaped or curved tonearms only. My Thorens td 403 tonearm is curved (I've heard the term J shaped). I'm thinking this headshell would work, but just wondering what you think? Thank you.

That is a fantastic question. This Audio-Technica should be a fine match for your turntable since it has a curved tonearm. Curved shaped is sometimes called J-shaped so this should work perfectly fine. If you happen to have any follow up questions we have friendly advisors standing by at 800.324.9695 so please feel free to give us a call and we will get you taken care of!

Q
Can I use any of the AudioTechnica Headshells with my Technics SL-1500C?

That's a fantastic deck Michael, one of my personal favorites! That's what a major bonus is to the pre-mounted Audio Technica cartridge combos on the website. You can easily swap or replace for certain vinyl, or situations. Since all of the AT line are not created equally, whichever unit you choose you will have to make sure to re-dial in your tracking weight and anti-skate, just to be on the safe side. If you enjoyed the playback on the included Ortofon Red but are just looking for an upgrade, this VM540ML/H is the finest pre-mounted AT we have, a sure winner! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_057VM540H/Audio-Technica-VM540ML-H.html?tp=71663
