Cartridge for Spacedeck w/spacearm


Considering Shelter 501II or Dynavector 20X-
L. What are the characteristic differences between these cartridges? Should I worry about the Shelter on the unipivot Spacearm? What are the recommended cartridge loading values of these? I am using a Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 phono stage.

Another suggestion (that comes from a friend of mine who has exactly the same TT & arm): Benz Micro L2. I believe that he is having very good success with this combination after trying a number of cartridges incl. the 501 Mk2. The L2 has a very unhyped presentation & an excellent midrange.

The L2 has a (static) compliance of 16um/mN so it should perform well w/ the Spacearm unipivot. The only thing is price - it's more than the 501. However, it's deemed as the best midpriced MC by many & even by Art Salvatore!
