Gemini HDCN-15 Turntable Headshell and Cartridge (Silver), Headshell and Cartridge, 20.00 x 20.00 x 20.00

This saved my old JVC turntable that I bought back in the early 1980’s! I wasn’t sure it would work! The turntable had been in the attic for over 30 years and I had forgotten all about it! I removed the old one cartridge and popped in this one and it worked like a charm!

really nice for the price. a couple of notes does not track as well as higher end carts. Really does need 3.5g. However the sound is very good and the cartridge was perfectly aligned as received for an sl-1200mk2.

Worked just as intended with a Gemini turntable. Looks a little cheap.

The media could not be loaded. My son purchased a vintage turntable from good will (crazy cheap - $3.50). An Akai AP 207 that needed a little love. Mechanically it worked great, but needed fine tuned.The cartridge and stylus worked OK, but sound was lacking. Since I did not want to put a ton of money into it, I decided to try the gemini headshell and cartridge. Great price with a retro look (and fast shipping!)WOW! what a difference. Clear, crisp and great range of sound.Restore is complete with about $50 invested. No need to spend a bunch of money to get quality. This is an amazing value and an item I will return to purchase in the future!

I have a Sony PS-FL1 which uses a smaller barrel attachment to the tonearm so this headshell would not fit (this standard size was too big). I did not realize this before ordering it :-( (and this was entirely my fault). However I was able to swap the cartridges from this Gemini into my original Sony headshell and it worked flawlessly.My plan was to upgrade to a better cartridge (like AT95SA) and just use this Gemini cartridge temporarily since it could be delivered so quickly (1 day) at a cheap price, but now I think I will hold off and continue to use this one for awhile.

Great sound.

I usually buy ortofon cartridges. However, due to circumstances, I needed to find a lower cost option. I took a chance on this and was pleasantly surprised. The sound is crisp and clear, very little static. It actually played through an album that had a skip. I would definitely recommend this.

I bought this for an older turntable because I wasn't sure why I was only getting sound out of one channel. Plugged this into the tonearm and I was off and running (the problem was a broken wire on the old head shell and a bad RCA cable to boot). There isn't much info on this cartridge, but while it LOOKS like a typical Audio Technica 3600L cartridge, I found out that the CN-15 cartridge (made for Gemini) on this unit actually has an ELIPTICAL stylus - which is an upgrade over the CONICAL stylus you get with the AT 3600L. The elliptical stylus will give you better sound and more detail. Overall, a good value for the money.
