Well two points to consider. First of all A V or IV cannot have the alignment altered significantly because the headshell is not slotted. You can set overhang by sliding the arm in the sled, but you cannot change offset by any large degree, other than what clearance is allowed between the cartridge bolt and the bolt holes in the headshell. Secondly the V is not a continous or even 2 a two-part wire arrangment. The headshell area uses cartridge leads from a set of pins at the end of the arm tube to the cartridge pins. So those can be replaced at any time they have been compromised.As for what to consider as a replacement? That was the idea of the thread. Perhaps a Schroder, Reed, Graham, maybe Triplaner?
I am not the original purchaser of the Verismo. That person had twenty hours on it and managed to snag the diamond with a dusting cloth and pull it from the diamond cantilever. They chose to not have it serviced and part with it at a very affordable price. So its an unusual opportunity for me. To be honest I am quite content with my Transfiguration Proteus and Ortofon MC2000's. But this was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
