Fidelity Research Headshell On SME Arm?


Is this combo ok? Are the connectors the same? Trying to add mass.

It's the M2-12R, which has an extra counterweight for this purpose. I would try it if I had one but I'm thinking of buying it because it's 20g and the only other 20g headshell isn't as nice looking. Asthetics matter!

To me too — but ugly is OK if the music is great, I spend far less time looking than listening.

Which cartridge will you use, and why is extra mass needed?
It’s a Decca London Super Gold and it’ll only work with the SME if I add mass. Right now I have three quarters on the headshell (stuck on using blu tak) and it sounds lovely but it’s I can’t live with that forever!
