ORTOFON LH-8000 Headshell Eichenholz

Sculpted by a master carver of Oak Village Ltd., Hida, this handmade headshell of a simple and elegant design epitomizes the best of folk arts.

Exceptionally high quality carbon fiber headshell, the LH-9000 is made using carbon fiber resin for the elimination of unwanted resonances. The LH-9000 is perfect for a variety of high-end cartridges, e.g. Cadenza Series, MC A95 and MC Windfeld Ti.

Knowing the fundamental headshell dimensions will in a lot of cases make it easier to mount and align cartridge and tonearm correctly. Please find Ortofon headshells dimensions chart here.

The SPU Classic N E provides the same sound reproduction properties as the SPU Classic GM E series, but is sold without the integrated headshell unit.
The SPU Classic N E is a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with an elliptical stylus profile and provides more detailed sound reproduction and expansive imaging.
