Audio-Technica AT6003R Phonograph/Turntable Cartridge Storage Case

It's a very cool and functional little display/storage solution for 3 of your cart/headshell combos. Keeps them clean and dust-free, displays nicely and cleanly, and keeps the carts ready to go at a whim. With some padding and tape wrapped around the outside of the covers I've also found this to be an ideal solution if you have to pack up your gear for shipment, keeps the carts well protected from the shock and vibration of transit.Good purchase in my opinion, if you have up to 3 spare carts/headshells this is ideal!

I have a straight tonearm on my Dual CS 518 turntable and this holds my extra headshells. The AT-HS3 headshell is identical to my stock unit. Even though the headshells are angled, the stand and covers work as intended. I like how the covers are tinted because I have the stand next to a Hue light.

This is a nice concept and the design would be perfect with two things considered. One would be that the capsules were secured onto the base. A little click into place would help keep the capsule from coming loose if you happen to bump it. You don't want it knocking your cartridge/stylus. Second would be that the capsules were clear rather than smoke colored. Would be a much better presentation if you could have a clear view of the cartridge/headshell assembly under the capsule.

Nice for storage of head shells and cartridges

I owned one of these in the 80's but when I started using SME arms with fixed head-shells I gave mine away. I have recently purchased an arm with removable head-shell and this case is a life saver. Classic Audio Technica style and quality.

This case is for S shaped tone arm cartridges with the straight head shell . the cover will not fit off Set head shells from a strait tone arm. So I do not use the cover no big deal it holds my off Set head shell just fine . it looks cool showing off my various. head shell cartridge combos

Loose glass caps

If you have a few cartridges and headshells and you can't think of another way to keep them safe (old film canisters with a small amount of foam or making your own comes to mind), this works as good as anything else; protecting the stylus/cantilever is paramount. I suppose there's a this-will-be-bought-by-audiophiles upcharge because $30 is too much to pay for this. The thing is, the carts lock in but the domes don't so if the entire case falls off of a shelf it's not going to save your expensive carts. I found it funny that I was asked to comment on the Sound Quality and Ease of Installation - I flicked one of the domes and it responded with a satisfying "clunk" and installation was a breeze, if you consider taking it out of the box and unwrapping the domes "installation".
