Ortofon LH-6000 Headshell

The Ortofon LH-6000 is a universal headshell made of magnesium – lighter and less resonant than aluminium, designed specifically for the Cadenza series and the MC Windfeld Ti.

Why this headshell?

Magnesium damps self-resonance noticeably better than aluminium – with high-end MC cartridges like the Cadenza series, that pays off in a cleaner, less resonant playback. The rounded front is also precisely matched to these cartridges.

Who it's for (plain talk)

For owners of an MC Windfeld Ti or a Cadenza cartridge who want to give it a fitting, resonance-optimized home.

Frequently asked questions

Why magnesium instead of aluminium?
Magnesium damps vibration and self-resonance better – with high-end MC cartridges, this shows up as cleaner, calmer playback.

Does the LH-6000 also fit other MC cartridges?
The rounded front is specifically matched to the Cadenza series and the MC Windfeld Ti – for other cartridges we recommend checking compatibility beforehand.
