The main issue with this headshell is it doesn't stay level, in other words it likes to twist to the left which in returns puts more wear and tear on the left channel.

I like the price and wood material. Unfortunately, because the wiring harness is mounted ascew to the headshell (azimuth issue when the key pin and wire pins are not square to the top of the headshell), the headshell cannot sit level on the tonearm. This defect was the same on 2 of these headshells from same seller, so it is not an isolated case. Whomever is mounting the lead wiring harness to the headshell is doing it so the key pin is not straight up like the hour-hand at 12 noon but turned a bit to the left like about 11:45, and the azimuth cannot be adjusted. Too bad....I rather liked the wood material.

Great sound quality and it looks even better with my Grado wood body cartridge. It also beat the price of all the competition while matching the sound quality

Initial mounting of the cartridge and stylus to the head shell and attachment to the tonearm produced over 5 degrees of rotation off 90 from the stylus to groove surface, enough that it was poorly balancing LR channels. The adapter is only press fit into the wooden housing making it easy enough to rotate within the housing. The Sapele Wood is hard enough that it provides a very secure mounting surface for cartridge mounting and deforms very little under good screw pressure.End Thoughts:It just took a little finagling.The overall look is pleasant.No noticeable induced resonances.Using it without the included top mount 2g weight.

Actually, not bad for the price, can't say it improves the sound, but certainly didn't make it worse, if you like the look go for it. You may need longer screws as well.
