What are you using for a phono preamp?
(I ask, because you might not have enough gain for the Shelter 501, which has a pretty low output, as I recall.)
As far as a recommendation, the Shelter 90X works great, (it has fantastic bass response!), and if you don't mind buying used, you can sometimes find one for really close to $1,000.00 (As a matter of fact, I just sold mine for $1,000 a couple of months ago.) FYI, the output of the 90X is greater than the 501, so it is easier to drive.
Good luck!
