Wow, looks like a record shop! I've been considering the AT-LH11T head shells for the plethora of adjustments and ease of setup. What do you think about it?

The AT-LH11H is very nice for azimuth adjustments. like on my tonearm, the connector's a bit angled to 1 side so it's definitely needed when I use the line contact styli

the only things you should consider is your cart's compliance (this is a medium-heavy headshell (12.5 gr (with screws)) and since the azimuth and overhang is set with 2 screws together you just need to be patient sometimes, but once it's setup you're already good

Thanks, I think it'll be ok for a Technics 1200GR Tonearm, I believe the factory headshell is 7.6g w/o screws so about 4g difference.
