For the ultimate analog display
The Oyaide HS-CF is a premium headshell specifically designed for the most demanding analog audiophiles. Since its introduction in 2007, this headshell has been renowned for its unparalleled combination of rigidity, damping, and signal purity. The 4mm thick body is constructed from no fewer than 17 layers of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic). This advanced construction provides natural and effective vibration damping without affecting needle tracking or tonal balance. Ideal for those who want to elevate their turntable to the highest level.
What makes the HS-CF extra special is the Texalium finish combined with specially treated carbon layers, which are not only functional but also visually impressive. The headshell features an aluminum socket reinforced with 30% glass-fiber-reinforced PBT resin for maximum stability. The contact points are made of gold-plated brass for optimal conductivity and minimal signal loss. Its overall dimensions of 56 x 20 x 15.9 mm and a weight of 12 grams make it suitable for a wide range of tonearms, without the weight interfering with stylus tracking.
A special feature of this headshell are the included 5N pure silver lead wires, insulated with a double layer of silk—an exceptional choice that guarantees transparent signal transmission. The rhodium-plated phosphor bronze tips complete the package with durable, highly conductive connections. Whether you use a high-end MM or MC cartridge, the Oyaide HS-CF offers an unparalleled combination of technical perfection and sonic finesse. An absolute must-have for any discerning vinyl enthusiast.
