Has anybody compared the Ruby2 low output to the Shelter 901 in their home system. What is the optimum amount of gain for the Shelter- should need less than the ruby is what I'm thinking.
Thanks for a wealth of information, Twl. And thanks for pointing me to a source with more information, Aisip. I will do some search to get more "educated" about this subject matter! :-)
The shelter is a fine cartridge for the money but it does not have the refinement and top to bottom balance that the ruby does. If you have the shelter in your system you could be perfectly happy forever-unless you put the ruby in and hear the difference. This is a pocketbook decision. Remember it's about the music and one can get hung up on incremental improvements. Not to mention going broke. Spend more money on records and less on hardware is my motto.
