What is a Headshell and what does it do ?


Trying learn a few things here .
I see removable headshells and people talking about changing cartridges with them . Why ?

Thank you

Phono cartridges sound different! I have a moving magnet (mm) mounted on one headshell and a Moving coil (MC) mounted on another. Each, provides something different to the musical presentation. Being able to switch cartridges quick and easy is a plus. How you could have a TT with multiple tone arms but that gets pricy.
