This is a brand new, genuine SME headshell for direct mounting on SME tonearms. You can replace the internal wiring of your existing SME tonearm. If you have a specific type of cartridge you prefer, this will reduce the number of contact points, significantly improving sound clarity. This is old stock purchased in the UK over 20 years ago, so there may be some minor scratches and imperfections typical of older products, but it looks clean overall. I'll list it as "like new." I have checked the fit on an SME arm pipe just to be sure. Thank you for your understanding. #MC Cartridge MC Cartridge #Step-up Transformer Step-up Transformer #Turntable Turntable #Analog Record Analog Record #Cartridge Record #Tonearm Cartridge #Record Phono Equalizer #Direct Mount Headshell #Phono Equalizer Tonearm #Audio Audio #SME #Direct Mount Shell #Finger Lift #S2 Headshell #Finger Lift
