Oyaide HS-CF Carbon Fiber Headshell

In 2007, Oyaide created HS-CF especially for lovers of analog audio. Its 4mm thick headshell is made of CFRP. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, which is composed of seventeen layers of prepreg material. It smoothly attenuates interference from vibrations without altering the behavior of the stylus. The socket is made of aluminum with resin press fit inside.The pins are gold-plated brass, and the lead wires are 5N pure silver which are insulated with a double layered silk covering. The rhodium plated lead tip is made of phosphor bronze. CFRP (CARBON FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC) The most essential thing for headshell is high structural rigidity yet lightweight and capability to attenuate unnecessary vibration. We selected CFRP, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, for HS-CF as the best material which satisfies such requirements.Its 4mm thick shell part is composed of seventeen layers of prepreg material (carbon fiber). At the planning phase, we employed single directional alignment with an ex
