I have purchased a new AT OC9 XSH and I am now looking for a new headshell as I am planning on fitting my modified Rega Apheta 2 to the original Kenwood headshell. I believe the AT-LH range of headshells were designed for the OC9 range but that's about as far as my headshell knowledge goes.

From scanning various forums I notice there is reasonable body of opinion that says different headshell produce different sonic characteristics but as this my first experience of a tonearm with a detachable headshell I have absolutely no point of reference and that is where I would appreciate your help and advice.

In your experience do they make a difference and which do you prefer ? Thanks in advance Paul B
How are you getting on with your OC9XSH, Paul?
