It's a Soundsmith elliptical retip. Won't suffer as much as the HE or Shibata [from your graphic] but a better SRA may make a difference.I did find a good headshell of same weight that mounts the cartridge higher than the Technics. Not sure why I thought of that but after comparing it looks like the Technics mounts cartridges lower than any other headshell I have here: Sumiko, Ortofon, DIY, standards from turntables from Yamaha and Pioneer.
Don't know if there is an engineering reason behind Techniocs design but just as a data point looks like if you want to get a better SRA changing headshells from a Technics to almost anything, as well as mats, will work.
