Fluance PFHTS1 Aluminium Headshell

The Fluance PFHTS1 is a 10g aluminium headshell built for Fluance RT80, RT81 and RT81+ turntables. It uses an industry-standard H-4 bayonet mount with a rubber washer to secure the connection to the tonearm. Colour-coded lead wires simplify the installation of any 4-pin cartridge using 1/2 inch mounting. An integrated finger lift allows for simple tonearm operation.

Upgrade From Fixed or Damaged Headshell

This headshell replaces a fixed or damaged unit, adding slotted mounts that allow precise cartridge alignment and overhang adjustment. The jump is worth it when the original headshell lacks adjustable slots or when the bayonet connection has worn loose. The lightweight aluminium construction maintains low effective mass for accurate tracking. It is not for tonearms that require a different mounting standard or proprietary connector.

Build Integration and Compatibility

The H-4 bayonet mount fits directly onto compatible Fluance tonearms without adapters. Colour-coded wires connect to the cartridge pins, freeing the installer from guesswork during wiring. Slotted mounting holes provide the range needed to set overhang and alignment correctly. The 10g mass suits cartridges designed for light to medium effective mass arms. Buyers needing a heavier shell or a different mount type should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 10 g aluminium headshell fit the H-4 bayonet mount on my Fluance RT80 or RT81 turntable?

Yes — the headshell is built for the industry-standard H-4 bayonet mount used on the RT80, RT81 and RT81+ models, so it locks directly onto the tonearm without adapters.

Which step do people miss when wiring the colour-coded leads to a 4-pin cartridge?

Match each colour to the correct cartridge pin before tightening the ½-inch mounting screws; reversing the channels is the most common error.

When should I replace the rubber washer that sits between the headshell and the tonearm?

Replace it if you notice looseness, audible microphonic noise, or visible cracking — typically after several years of regular use.
