UVP 99 Euro
Neuwertig, nur versuchsweise montiert worden, die 14,3 g waren meinem Tonarm leider zu schwer.

Alle hier angebotenen Artikel stammen aus meinem rauch- und tierfreien Haushalt.
€65 is a strong buy for this one: new retail sits at €99, and current new-price listings are still around €93–€99, so this asking price is clearly below the usual new-cost floor and well into bargain territory. For a solid used headshell like this, that’s a very good entry point rather than a merely fair price.
It’s well-regarded because the LH-4000 is a solid aluminum headshell aimed at stable cartridge mounting and good rigidity, which is exactly what you want for clean setup and repeatable performance. The upside is best if it’s complete and tidy—original screws, leads, and a straight mount all matter more than cosmetic niceties here. At €65, a clean example looks like an easy yes for anyone needing a serious upgrade part.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ortofon: A Century of Precision Sound
Ortofon traces its lineage to October 9, 1918, when Danish engineers Axel Petersen and Arnold Poulsen founded the Electrical Phono Film Company in Copenhagen. The name itself derives from Greek, meaning "correct sound"—a philosophy that has guided the company's trajectory for over a century. Initially focused on synchronized sound film technology, Ortofon pivoted to audio reproduction after 1945, when the superior recording quality of new cutting equipment revealed the inadequacy of existing playback systems. This gap sparked the development of the pioneering Ortofon mono pickup in 1948, establishing the foundation for the company's future dominance.
Today, Ortofon is the world's largest manufacturer of magnetic cartridges for phonograph turntables, producing approximately 500,000 units annually. The company's product portfolio centers exclusively on phono cartridges—both moving magnet and moving coil designs—with over 300 distinct models developed since 1948. This singular focus reflects deep specialization rather than diversification, positioning Ortofon as a micro-mechanical specialist rather than a broad-based audio manufacturer.
Ortofon occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among vinyl enthusiasts and professional studios alike. The brand benefits from Denmark's established reputation for acoustic engineering and industrial design, supported by in-house research and development. For discerning turntable owners, Ortofon cartridges represent the gold standard—a heritage brand whose century-long commitment to cartridge excellence remains unmatched in the industry.
