Modified
Technics Arm. It certainly looks the part, all it needs is a single
length of Cardas wire from headshell to Phono stage and its ready to
try out. The mass of the arm/headshell worked out well at 22g. The
Technics arm/headshell weighs 24g, so not much difference. The
combination of Carbon/Aluminium tube is much better than carbon on its
own which would have come in at 13g including headshell. Where the
difference lies is in the distribution of the mass. The Technics is 24g
but 16g is hung off the end in the form of headshell and connector. The
tube itself weighs only 8g. With this modification the mass is more
evenly distributed along the length, 5g for the headshell, 17g for the
tube.
