What head shell is a good match for the Nagaoka MP-500 cart on Technics 1200G
I want to get the Nagaoka MP-500 cart for my Technics 1200G turtable. What would be a good head shell to buy with it? I am looking to spend up to $200 on the head shell.
Okay, thank you for the replies. I'm going to stick with the one that came with my turntable. I didn't realize it would be okay. I was worried it would be too heavy since I read where the MP500 was on the heavy side
According to the Internet, the weight of the MP 500 is 8 g. That’s middling as cartridges go. Also, I can find no specific information on the effective mass of the tone arm on the 1200 G. However, all sources say it is medium mass. So you have a middleweight cartridge and a medium mass tone arm. You should have no problems related to tonearm and cartridge incompatibility.
Do I need to buy tools to adjust/measurements on the vta and other adjustments? Or can I Google the specs on what the adjustments should be for the mp 500 and the 1200g turntable and that will be good?
