Are there any headshells with adjustable canting?


I have a Yamaha PX-3 linear tracking turntable. The headshell that comes with the table cants when it is mounted in the arm so that the top of the headshell (and, thus, the cartridge) leans: Looking at the cartridge from the front when mounted in the arm, the headshell leans to one side, causing the stylus to lean, as well. I am not sure whether the arm tube is not perfectly aligned or whether the mounting pin on the headshell that slides into the arm is not perfectly aligned. If there is a headshell that allows rotating the assembly about the lengthwise axis of the headshell, that should fix the problem. Does anyone know who may make such a thing? Thanks very much.

Dear Je_pense: These two headshells have the " mechanism " you are looking for;
