Cartridge recommendations


Just had an unfortunate accident. While putting my Shelter 501 mk 11 cartridge on a new Audiomods arm, one of the electrodes on the cartridge snapped off. Almost impossible to repair.

I've been very happy with that cartridge. Bought it second hand for $500  
off Audiogon seven yrs ago, still going strong. Can't afford a new one, but if anyone has a used one in good condition, I'd buy it. Or are there any comparably good sounding carts people would like to recommend?

Our Liberty B2B-1 can be set to any desired loading 500Ohms is one of several standard selectable load settings, any customized load can be requested on ordering of this little gem.

The Denon DL103 and 103R are very nice cartridges for what they are asking for them, and properly set up and in the right tonearm they are very musically satisfying - there is a reason they are still making them after 40 - 50 plus years. The 103 in the very affordable Jelco SA750 Tonearm are is a stellar combination for the price.

The only difference on the 103 and the 103R is the coil wire the 103R has a "6 nines" wire the 103 a lesser quality wire of the coils.  The stylus shape is the same on both : 16.5 Micron round tip.

Good Listening
