We provide world class quality and we are the sole global provider of injection molded AR parts.Not a budget 3D print (you can buy those from another seller and save a couple bucks!). Our headshell is a premium injection molded plastic headshell and has a silky smooth, deep black finish just like the original XA shell. Imagine this on your tonearm. Replace your broken headshell, or upgrade your grainy 3D printed shell. Avoid the grit:A recurring comment we received was "Gritty 3D headshells don't look right on a shiny vinyl LP". We listened, retooled our manufacturing process, and the result is a silky smooth headshell modeled after the original. When compared against a common 3D print, the quality of our piece is stunning. You can move away from 3D and make your table authentic. Why ruin the classic look of an AR table with a second rate headshell? You've already invested in vintage gear, don't let an odd looking 3D print spoil it.Unlike other headshells with exposed solder joints our headshell has sealed connections, just like the original. And we use high quality gold plated audio signal contacts which will resist oxidation.Not only is it gorgeous with ultra clean lines, it's built to last. Zoom in and look closely at the photos to see the work of our dedicated engineers.
