As Mofi says, get a lighter headshell. the ADC Magnesium shells are light, as are the vintage audio technica (e.g. ls9) and sony ones (I see an 8gr one on the bay right now). Also, some of the Yamamoto wood headshells are light (e.g. the boxwood one is 8gr). Maybe also change your screws to alu ones if you're not off by much.
Need help balancing tonearm/ heavy cartridge
I just bought an Audio-Technica AT150ANV cartridge for my SL1200mk2/KAB turntable. I want to use it on my Sumiko HS12 headshell. I mounted the new cart last night and could not get the arm to balance, even with the 10.5 gram accessory counterweight in the back of the arm.
The HS12 weighs 11.5 grams and the AT150ANV 9.5 grams.
Can anyone offer a solution to this problem?
