Description

Redefining What a Head Shell Can Sound Like

By minimizing contacts, increasing rigidity, and stabilizing the tonearm interface, the HS-001 achieves unprecedented sonic purity.

A vertical pin structure achieves uniform pressure on electrical contacts

Contact surface stabilized by spherical washer. Conventional headshells have a connecting pin attached only to the upper side, causing uneven contact pressure between the tonearm and the headshell. However, the HS-001 Solid Headshell adopts an upper and lower pin structure, equalizing the pressure on the contacts and applying force evenly across the connection to the tonearm. Additionally, DS Audio uses a special spherical headshell washer (developed by DS Audio) independently at the tonearm's contact point. This enables superior stability over the entire circumference of the contact point, providing improved resonance control.

Machined Ultra Duraluminum

DS Audio precision machines each HS-001 out of a solid billet of duralumin for the ultimate rigidity and resonance control.

Hand-soldered Litz signal leads

After extensive listening tests within the company, DS Audio selected a Japanese-made Litz wire. Further advances were realized by hand soldering this delicate lead wire to preserve signal integrity for optimal sound performance. (Lead wires and connector parts are also available unsoldered by dealer request.)
