Ceramic Headshell for Universal Tonearms
Designed and built by Korf Audio to demonstrate what is possible when the classic analogue reproduction technology meets today's advanced design tools, materials and manufacturing techniques. HS-A02 offers an exceptional improvement in analogue reproduction quality through extremely high rigidity — more than twice of the next best headshell on the market.
- Single seamless ceramic casting
- Double locating pin for extremely secure attachment to the tonearm
- Custom gold-plated contact pins
- Custom non-magnetic brass mounting hardware
- Pure silver Litz connecting wires
- Weight 13g, including wires and fingerlift
The headshell is suitable for all types of pickup cartridges that use ½ inch mount. HS-A02 uses industry-standard SME/Ortofon type connectors and fits most tonearms with a straight removable headshell. No rubber washer is necessary for the headshell to lock tight in the connector.

HS-A02 comes carefully packed in a special protective foam-padded box. The nature of the ceramic material is such that slight discolorations and minor shape irregularities are inevitable. They make each headshell unique and do not constitute a defect.
