Nagaoka HSAL01 Aluminum Headshell

Nagaoka HSAL-01 Aluminum Headshell – Ultra-Lightweight & Precision Alignment

The Nagaoka HSAL-01 is a meticulously engineered cartridge headshell designed for audiophiles seeking faithful sound reproduction. Originally developed to provide the perfect sonic match for the Nagaoka JT-80 series, its universal SME bayonet mount makes it an excellent upgrade for a wide variety of high-end turntables and tonearms.

Designed for Precision & Visibility

• Ultra-Lightweight Performance: Weighing only 6.8g, this aluminum headshell reduces effective mass, allowing for easy pairing with a broad range of tonearms and cartridges.
• Optimized Overhang: The elongated screw mounting holes provide maximum flexibility for precise cartridge positioning, ensuring your stylus tracks the groove perfectly.
• Superior Stylus Visibility: The specialized finger lift design is engineered to give you an unobstructed view of the stylus tip, making manual cueing safer and more accurate.
• Gold-Plated Connectivity: Features gold-plated pins for lossless signal transfer and includes a set of four high-quality copper lead wires.

Compatibility Note

The HSAL-01 utilizes a standard SME-type bayonet mount. It is compatible with 'S' shaped tonearms found on iconic turntables such as the Technics SL-1200 / SP10, Audio Technica, Denon, and SME arms.
*Note: This headshell is not compatible with straight tonearms.
