Removable headshells 101

Hey Folks,

Haven't seen anybody reply to my SME 309 question.

Anybody know if the 309 is a non standard pin/collar headshell?

BTW, is there a name for the standard headshell connection?

Thanks,
Robert

Dear Robob: The 309 has a SME " dedicated/non-standard " removable headshell but that's not the Universal removable headshell like the one SME used in the 3012 and the ones we are named in this thread.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Nandric,

the German magazine "Das Ohr" was published by Klaus Renner from 1982 until Klaus Renner's death in 1991.

DerTonarm wrote some very interesting articles about music for "Das Ohr" (about 6 if I remember correctly). Therefore DerTonarm was associated with the magazine for some time, but "Das Ohr" was not definitely not DerTonarm's magazine.

Regards
Blam!

Dear Blam, It was not my intentions to suggest in any way
that Dertonarm was the owner of this Magazine. We usualy
have no idea who the owner is nor care about. BTW I thought
that reviewers also refer to 'their Magazine' but obviousy
without ownership implication. This was what I meant with
'his Magazine'. I am not the right person to say anything about English grammar but English must also have those 'possesive' expression wich are in no way connected with the ownership. BTW I am a lawyer with specialisation in private law.

Your influence is far and deep, Raul. Turns out the previous owner of my Azden removed the adapter's pins based on your recommendation in the mm thread. I ordered a new adapter so I should be able to listen to it next week. Maybe I'll try drilling larger holes in my current adapter so the headshell pins will fit through. Might as well try as it's unusable for me right now.

Mounted the Empire on an Orsonic headshell. Will report some thoughts about it next week.
