Best Tonearm Match for Shelter 901


I remember reading here on Audigon that some of the "best" tonearms (Graham in particular) are not suited for use with the Shelter 901 or 501 cartridge -- for whatever reason.

If anyone has recommendations for what they consider the best tonearm for the Shelter(s), I'd love to know what those arms are and why they would be a good match.

Also, if you could expand on why certain arms may not work well with this cartridge type -- I'd like to learn.

I currently use the Shelter with a Linn Ittok tonearm with what seems like great success, however I am in the process of building a Teres and would like to purchase the best arm possible for that table.

I have heard from others that the new Kuzma Reference cartridge is actually a shelter 901 with the Kuzma label. Kuzma must then feel that this cartridge is a match for their arms which have about 12-12.5gr mass.
