Sourcing records and CDs is complex. So that you always know where you stand, we show the delivery time on every item as precisely as possible. Our focus is on audiophile records and CDs – in close cooperation with Sieveking Sound, whose stock is shown in the shop on a daily basis.

For items not in stock, a direct stock check isn’t possible while you order. We check availability immediately afterwards and inform you without delay.

How to read the delivery time: The colour of the delivery van icon on the item matches the colour of the dot in the table.

2	Immediate partial shipment if the wait is longer If we see right away that an item will take longer, we send you the available items straight away as a partial shipment.

3	Automatic check every 14 days Every 14 days, our system automatically checks whether a further partial shipment can be sent on its way.

HS-1A Headshell - African Blackwood - Yamamoto Sound Craft

The Yamamoto HS-1A is the newer version of the HS-1 and relies on slotted holes for mounting the pickup. When choosing the material, the Japanese went to the African blackwood, also called grenadilla, which belongs to the rosewoods.
With a density of 1400kg/m3, it is one of the heaviest woods available, which means that the headshell weighs 10.6 grams without screws.
African blackwood is also often used in instrument making (e.g. clarinets and oboes), as the resonance properties of blackwood have proven themselves in this area.
The headshell has a grub screw on the underside, which can be loosened using the Allen key. This allows the azimuth of the pickup to be easily adjusted on the headshell.

The headshell's gold-plated screws, as well as the finger ring, are non-magnetic and therefore have no influence on possible magnetic fields of the pickup.
The HS-1A headshell can also be equipped with the TY-1 titanium finger lever.
