Yes, I can do better than "A-HOLE". You better watch out, your self-righteous, condescending, oh so enlightened elitism is beginning to show!
I apologized in a moment of weakness, that of giving you the benefit if the doubt.

Actually, that would have made much more sense. There's plenty of crap out there. Why limit your qualifications geographically? I should know, my wife has been driving those crappy Jap Hondas for 8 years now. Sh!itty resale value, too.
Your buddy,
Ben
Honda is probably the best "Jap" car (your choice of word, not mine) out there for real world consumers. By the way, they are built stateside.

"Ben",
Unlike yourself and possibly Gary, I do not need Allan's approval to validate my choices, with regards to words OR head shells. As far as "crapping in the wrong yard", you've lost me there. Allan some kind of sacred cow to you weaklings? Your phony *** political correctness makes me want to puke. Who the FU(K are you, the thought police?

It is the piece which is attached to the end of a tone arm, to which the cartridge is attached. Not all tone arms use this method as they are one piece designs or use removable and interchangeable "arm wands".
Not to insult you, all of the above are pieces/parts of turntables.

If you had said "NO CHEAP JAPANESE HEADSHELLS" it wouldn't have seemed so offensive.You really can buy new ones from SME. Last time I checked they were about 20 pounds sterling. They sell on ebay for about $25-$40 dollars most of the time.I can sell you a nice original SME headshell for $25 plus shipping if you want.----------------
...but "NO CHEAP JAPANESE HEADSHELLS" is OK in "Allans World"? Your hypocrisy is STUPEFYING! Maybe if I had said "NO CHEAP SH!T" a twit like you would have understood, and I wouldn't be explaining myself to YOU. Maybe I need to have MY head examined. Thank you for your generous offer (15 posts latter), but I'll pass.
Thank you again,

If you were looking for an SME or SME-SHURE headshell (they are exactly the same by the way)you would have asked for one--there would have been no need for the "non-ASIAN" qualifier.SME still sells these things BRAND NEW for crying out loud--why don't you just email them and BUY one? The model is the SR-2.----------------
I have already made the mistake of dignifying your accusations with a response. You obviously race bait with more proficiency than you read. I am also forced to assume you do NOT have the piece in question available for sale. If you do not have anything useful or relevant to bring to the table, then SHUT UP "KNOW IT ALL" The "canned" qualifier under Allan Songer (NO LIFE) seems amusingly appropriate, (and accurate).
Sincerely,

Thanks for your time, Klipschfoot,
I don't think they're pieces of sh!t, just not what I'm looking for.
Thank you again,

I am growing to like you more and more every day, Mr. Landau.
I have one of these crappy Nagaoka headshells sitting here going unused--been sitting untouched since I went full time down the SPU path. Used to work great with the Decca London gold and the Denon. Too bad it's "Asian." I might have offered it up to someone in need for nothing . . . that is if they had an open mind.
How about this crappy, asian, orsonic? Probably not worthy either. Or, was it the other way around? Probably too good for a pompous *** like yourself.
Either one of you know it alls ever stop to consider that I may have requested the SME/SHURE for a SPECIFIC purpose, UNKNOWN, even to you jerk offs?
I also do not appreciate your implications that since I specified NON ASIAN, that there is some reason to assume racist motives on my part.
I inquired as to the availability of a SPECIFIC piece, not a tutorial on what head shells YOU idiots like.
"Pompous ***" and "if they had an open mind", now THAT'S the pots calling the kettle black. Glad to know you wipes are so enlightened and philanthropic.
As always,
Analogman

You got what I'm looking for, and want to sell it, or just want to start some sh!t?

Thanks for the post but...
Made a simple request/inquiry, DID NOT invite a debate. I specified NON-ASIAN as I did not want anyone to waste their time contacting me with regards to some "Made In Taiwan" Radio Shack crap. That is all I meant, DO NOT TRY TO BAIT ME BUDDY. Also, if you are interested, I need the shell for a DENON table/based retro project and do not want to use the Denon because it is a piece of SH!T, (the head shell, not the table), probably out sourced, you know, we ain't the only ones that do that crap.
Your pal,

Thank you for your consideration.

Well, even if he WAS, you can at least hope he was a racist that bought all of Elvis' stuff on 78. If he has the Elvis you'll be OK
Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins ("Blue Suede Shoes") etc. though not as valuable as Elvis. IF he turns out to be into Jazz on any level...Mr. CHARLIE PARKER!! would be the jackpot.

Hello,
Tow in will definitely narrow your soundstage, but at the same time give you more focus. Only you can decide what you like best. It sounds as if you are not shy to experiment, that is the best way to find the sound YOU like in YOUR room. There are generally accepted guidelines, but every room is different. There is no "one size fits all" especially in small or less than perfect spaces. Also, in general, the closer you place your speakers to the wall or corner the more low end response you will perceive. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Analogman

If the recording is thin, then the low end has been shaved off, and a sub isn't going to be doing anything at all. You'd get better results with a good equalizer, provided there is a little info in the frequencies you want to boost.

Paul Parrot,
I think you may be on to something there
