Has anybody tried a Shelter 501/Linn Ekos comb.

Jfrech, thank you very much for your answer. At least now I have a theory! Being a social scientist I feel much better than yesterday ... Seriously, thanks a lot: what you are describing is exactly what the Linn dealer described to me few days ago. Pablo.

Restock, thank you for your rapid answer. According to the Linn dealer the body of the Denon is larger than other cartridges. It seems that he cannot affix the cartdridge to the headshell for that reason. My guess is that the Shelter has an average body (3/4?) and it will fit the headshell of the Ekos, but I wanted to know for sure before selling my Denon and buying a Shelter. Thank you again, Pablo.

Thank you Restock. I'll transmit the info to the Linn dealer. Pablo.

Keith, thank you for the info about the Ittok. I didn't know that.
I will try the Shelter 501 in the Ekos. I hope I don't have the same problem! Pablo.

Well, bad news for those who were following the thread: the Shelter 501 doesn't work with the Ekos either! It seems that the geometry of the cantilever doesn't allow a correct ajustment of the VTA (or something like that ... beyond my technical expertise). Thank you very much for all your help. Pablo.

P.S.: does anybody want a Shelter 501 almost new? :):):)
