A 13g adjustable headshell manufactured from TechniHard™ material, complete with AT6101 quad wire. The AT-LH13/OCC has an adjustable overhang and adjustable azimuth, as well as internal headshell threads to avoid the use of nuts when fitting cartridges.
Finally, this stunning Ortofon MC Rohmann statement moving coil cartridge
Like new, with box and papers, but sadly missing stylus and cantilever after a cleaning mishap by her owner. This can be rebuilt by Ortofon, Soundsmith or Garrott Bros. Priced at $195.
This was a premium cartridge from Ortofon, built to celebrate Ortofon’s former managing director, in honour of his many years of service.
This cartridge body is milled from a solid block of aluminium and the dark blue anodized body exploits aluminium’s special damping characteristics to suppress resonance. The slim-line Nude Orto-Line diamond ensures flawless tracking of even the most dynamic passages.
MC Rohmann conveys the full range of detail and subtle nuance, even when a powerful brass section competes with the fine nuances of quieter instruments such as the flute or harpsichord. Recommended load: 100 Ohms or more.
