Shelter 501 mk2 v mk3

Tennis, maybe when possible the VE data are accurate. But in many cases not, based on my own direct knowledge.

Beware of info on VE.  It's often based on hearsay.  In other words, the guys who put it there are about as informed as any of us is, in many cases.

Shelter has a significant presence in Tokyo audio salons, FWIW. Maybe they lack an importer or the importer lacks enthusiasm.

If output is different and internal resistance is the same, that implies there might be a difference in magnets used or the core construction Then there’s cantilever material and stylus shape; are those conserved between the two? A few years ago I asked myself the same question, but I wanted a mono cartridge and the model 3 did not seem to be available in mono, so my dilemma was solved for me, and I bought a 2 mono version.

Shelter cartridges are rarely discussed here for some reason.
