Why OFC Lead Wires Matter
Oxygen-Free Copper wiring is a preferred choice in high-fidelity audio equipment because its highly purified copper composition reduces electrical resistance and minimizes signal interference. This translates to a more faithful reproduction of your vinyl records — capturing the warm, rich tones that make analogue listening so rewarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What turntable models is this headshell stylus holder compatible with?
A: This standard 1/2" headshell lifting piece is a direct replacement compatible with Dual turntable models TK22, 1009SK, 1009SK2, 1009F, 1010F, 1010S, 1015, 1015F, 1016, and 1019. It is also universally suitable for any cartridge using the standard two-screw lifting mount configuration.
Q: What is OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) and why does it matter for a turntable headshell?
A: OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper — a high-purity copper alloy with significantly reduced oxygen content. In turntable headshell applications, OFC lead wires deliver better electrical conductivity and reduced signal interference compared to standard copper wires, helping preserve the integrity of the audio signal from your cartridge to the amplifier for a cleaner, more detailed sound.
Q: Is this headshell holder easy to install on my Dual turntable?
A: Yes. This cartridge headshell stylus holder is designed to fit the standard 1/2" headshell mount and uses a two-screw cartridge lifting system, making installation straightforward. No specialist tools are typically required, and it is ready to use right out of the box.
Q: What is the dual line configuration in this headshell?
A: The "dual line" refers to the paired OFC lead wire setup that connects your phono cartridge to the tonearm. Having dual OFC lines ensures balanced signal flow from both stereo channels of the cartridge, contributing to improved channel separation and audio fidelity during vinyl playback.
