Recommendations Needed For Headshells in the EU

[jazbo8]

Did a quick search but did not see anything... I'm in the process of getting (finally) head shells for all the amps that I built over the past few years, so looking for good head cabinet suppliers in the EU (I am in Spain).

TIA,
Jaz

Thanks! Now how about in hardwood? I suppose I could ask any competent furniture/cabinet maker to make them for me, but just thought I ask if some shops specialize in such things.

Also, someone in the UK recommended AF Custom Cabinets to me, the cabinets and heads look great, I plan to order one to evaluate for myself.

Also check out Tube Town - http://www.tt-cabs.com/index.php - I can recommend them without reservation.

Hey there!
Great to see another spanish amp builder around here.

I also ordered several cabs from tubeampdoctor and tubetown, in addition to some components etc, in the last few years with great results.
They are a quite overpriced in my humble opinion, but well built and well finished.
The cabinets I ordered from tubeampdoctor were more expensive but looked better finished to me.
If you're looking for tweed, something to bare in mind is that tube town doesn't apply lacquer ("cola laca") onto it. At least they did not by the time I ordered the cabs. For anything that doesn't involve tweed, I'd choose tube town.

Never had any shipping issues with any of them, it was fast and safe, but again you pay for it.

Cheers!!
