that piece is used for measuring the placement of cartridge on the headshell. If you look at the top of the headshell, u have the placement of the screws, and its about half inch long... to get the best of cartridge performance and use, its necessary to have the screws tightened on a particular part of the cartridge; that is why u use the white plastic piece (to measure placement), it is a measurement tool.

Hi, is the white plastic necesary for the headshell??

No it's not necessary, but it's easier to set the installation of the cart for optimum sound quality and record/stylus wear.

LOL! This made me laugh.....not for the fact that someone was asking for help....all due respect there. What made me laugh was some of the memories I have of changing cartridges. Wait until you're doing a gig somewhere and suddenly a cartridge gives out on you. Believe me...it does happen. I've been clocked at changing a cartridge at under 2 1/2 minutes...that including alignment, adjusting the weight and anti-skate. After you've been spinning a while, it's something that you get to learn to do very quickly.....like before the song that's playing ends.
