Anyone have experience w/Shelter 501 II?


Anyone who has owned or heard the Shelter 501 II cartridge, I would be interested in your feelings (pro or con) and what you like or don't like about it.

My musical tastes are classical, jazz and folk. I have a VPI 'Scout' w/arm.

Thanks, in advance for any input.

Regards,

I didn't think it worked particularly well with a std. JMW9 arm, there was audible mis-tracking, more so then any other cartridge that I have used. It is a low compliance cartridge and the JMW9 is a low mass arm, not the best combo.

That said more then a few people have used this combination successfully. Perhaps the Shelter's have some variation in there compliance.
