## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Audio-Technica HS1 Headshell compatible with a AT-95E cartridge??**
A: Yes, it is. The at-lp120 turntable comes with this array.

**Q: what are the best cartidge and needle for this headshell?**
A: Dan, I purchased the Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge in 2013.  I'm not disappointed.  I do a lot of album & 45 transfers, as well as just enjoy putting an album on while working in my shop.  I tried others but to my ear this cartridge provided the best reproduction of instruments and voice.  I would recommend also getting a Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge so you can set the weight up correctly.  For $25 the gauge will payback in stylus costs and wear on the media.   The cartridge was $70, but I felt it was better than some I tried which were in the hundreds of dollars. - Fred

**Q: What type of stylus does it use?**
A: It takes a 1/2" *cartridge*, which in turn will hold/come with the matching stylus for the cartridge of your choice (as long as you get a 1/2" mount type cartridge).

**Q: Will this fit a Technics SL-B2??**
A: Yes; it will also fit any other turntable (such as the direct drive models sold under the Audio Technica brand) that use a universal headshell.

*by H***L on October 18, 2020*

Solid buy! Great Numark quality. Fits perfectly. No issues whatsoever. Fairly easy to install. You do have to have a little technical knowledge to wire this correctly. But should be easy enough for any serious DJ or for anyone who is mildly hardware literate. Easy buy. No problems!
