Review: Solidly made and effective. - I have 2 Ortofon Sh-4 Silver Aluminum Cartridge Headshells used to effectively support Audio Technica VM95SH and one of my 2 Audio Technica AT-440MLB cartridges on my Reloop rp 7000 Mk2 turntable. I had been using Audio Technica HS24 headshells, but I find the Ortofon marginally superior, by being more tonally neutral and with better bass definition.

Do what it’s supposed to do: Holds cartridge good, looking very nice also. With Ortofon 2M Red it brings nicely colour to grey turntable.
