Dear @tzh21y : You have a misunderstood because no single headshell needs silver leads to perform good, it's the cartridge signal whom ask for it. Btw, alternatuives magnesium headshells for your 1200G. Maybe and just maybe one of them can outperform what you have, you have to test it are only alternatives : https://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDIO-TECHNICA-HEAD-SHELL-AT-MG-10-from-JAPAN-Japan-new/183366770516?epid=2... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-LS12-headshell-with-adjustable-azimuth/302816656736?hash=... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-MS9-Headshell-adjustable-azimuth/113137039830?hash=item1a... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-MS10-Headshell/223092162897?hash=item33f1544151%3Ag%3ABhE... https://www.ebay.com/itm/HIGH-QUALITY-AUDIO-TECHNICA-DISCONTINUED-MAGNESIUM-LT12-PHONO-HEADSHELL/263...

The part of the headshell on which the cart is fastened I call ''insert peace''. Those can be ordered as separates. This means as many headshells as one wants. One can even pre-adjust carts (eff. length) on them for fast exchange. Arche is actually a frame in which the parts can be screwed with precision screws and Allen keys. The insert piece need to rotate because of the SRA provision and is fastened with two steel axes with steel balls and (tension) springs. That is why flexible headshell wire is needed. The best quality clips are also needed because the same wire will be used for all insert peaces . Those made by Clearaudio are the best. Clearaudio silver headshell wire are expensive but the best for Arche.

Just to let everyone know, I have just learnt that Acoustical Systems is going to release two further lighter versions of the Arche headshell: one weighing 13g and made of aluminium alloy and the other 10g and made of magnesium. Both will have all the adjustability of the current version of the Arche together with the same titanium bars. Release is scheduled for October 2018. |
