Yamamoto Sound Craft HS-1A HS1 hs-1a African Black Wood Head Shell YAMAMOTO New

Description: Description Condition: New From JAPAN ●Threaded holes have been changed from a direct-attach type to standard long holes to allow for the use of most cartridges. The HS-1 is a very rare wood headshell for analog cartridges. Until now, most headshells have been made of metal. The reason is that it was difficult to obtain the same precision and strength from wood in terms of strength and processing accuracy.However, wood has many advantages that cannot be discarded. One is its high internal loss, which prevents sharp resonance. The reason why metal is not often used in speaker boxes is because of its ease of resonance. The headshell is also considered to be greatly affected by the resonance of the arm as a whole. The use of a headshell made of wood, which has a large internal loss, can considerably suppress the effects of resonance.African ebony is a beautiful black material used for oboes and clarinets. It has a specific gravity of approximately 1.4, and its strength is close to the highest value among woods. The headshell itself is tapped with a threaded tap, allowing the cartridge to be fastened directly.The head shell is coated with eco-friendly protective paint, which has almost no effect on the human body, and buffed to a finish to preserve the texture of the wood. The unique appearance and softness of the wood can be felt.● Characterized by its beautiful resonance and beautiful reverberations. The sound is natural and gentle to the ear, completely different from common metal shells.●Brass gold-plated set screws are included in the attached set screws due to its light weight. Since brass has a high specific gravity, the use of long screws can increase the dead weight. The brass screws have a non-magnetic base and are gold-plated.The finger rest is also non-magnetic and gold-plated, so it can be used safely with MC cartridges, which are greatly affected by magnetic forces.
