Yamamoto Onkyo Kogei Asada Cherry Blossom Head Shell HS-2HS-2
[⭐︎ Key Points & Product Appeal]
●Carefully Selected Hokkaido Asada Cherry Wood (Heartwood)
Only high-quality heartwood from Asada cherry is selected, focusing on both acoustic properties and appearance.
●Natural Resonance and “Ear-Friendly” Sound
Prioritizes warmth, reverberation, and atmosphere rather than the hardness or sharpness typical of metal shells. Highly praised for compatibility with vocals and acoustic instruments.
●Lightweight Design with Excellent Balance
Weighs approximately 10.4g. The combination of thin Asada cherry and brass components achieves balanced weight while maintaining sufficient rigidity and strength, making it comfortable for long listening sessions.
●High-Quality Finger Hook and Mounting Parts
The finger hook (handle/operation part) is made of 1.5mm non-magnetic, gold-plated brass. Mounting screws for cartridges are also brass, with multiple types included for easy fine-tuning during installation.
●Attention to Finish
The body is coated with clear eco-friendly paint to protect the wood while preserving texture, color, and grain. The buffed finish highlights the natural beauty of the wood, making it an aesthetically pleasing accessory.
●Size & External Design
Body dimensions (excluding mounting parts) are approximately W18 × L50 × H18 mm. Compact enough to match a wide range of tonearms and cartridges, offering versatile compatibility.
●Comprehensive Accessories
Includes three types of gold-plated brass mounting screws and standard shell lead wires, ready for immediate use after purchase.
[✍️ Intended Use & Ideal Users]
The HS-2 is especially recommended for those who:
- Seek warmth, naturalness, and a gentle sound in vinyl playback.
- Frequently listen to vocal tracks, live performances, or acoustic instrument-centered records.
- Want to shift from systems with overly metallic resonance to a more natural and gentle sound.
- Appreciate the appearance and tactile qualities of wood and design.
- Use systems where the tonearm’s weight tolerance accommodates around 10g plus the cartridge weight.
[⚠️ Cautions]
- Stiffness differs from metal shells, so avoid excessive vibrations or unstable installation.
- The center-of-gravity balance may affect perceived sound depending on the system; minor adjustments with washers may improve results.
- Being lightweight, mounting heavy MC cartridges may affect tonearm tracking.
