Headshell Connector Question

Ortofon designed that fitted onto SME tonearms and became the standard "universal" headshell connectors,  some also call them "SME Connector"

By headshells with fastening screw those 4 pin connectors have

two functions. The azimuth can be adjusted as well the stylus

distance (aka ''effective length'') .  Because the sample provided

by @imhififan has to short ''inside part'' of the 4 pin connector

this second function can't be used. By AT headshells with, say,

''movable 4 pin connector''  this shortcoming is obvious.

@imhififan , It is not ''either or'' but both (aka conjunction).

All my headshells have this ''movable 4 pin connector''  which

make azimuth as well eff. length adjustment possible. So I

don't understand persons who buy expensive headshells

without this provision. This imply all wooden headshells

because they can't ''bear'' the fastening screw.

Thanks for providing highendcity address. Those are the right

kind. AT headshells have screws threads at the under side.

For some carts very practical but not suitable for effective

length adjustment with ''short 4 pin connector''.
