Shelter cartridges...Any thoughts?

I seem to have a passion for the underground, un-reviewed kind of audio most times and these cartridges seem like the real deal. But, rather than blow the dough on something that is not going to deliver the performance, I thought that I would see if some Audiogon folks would chime in. The Lyra Helikon was my other choice...but I don't know anything about the 90x...the 500mk2 and 900 have reviews by one or two guys...HELP!

I can't compare the shelter to your other choices and the cartridge is heavily dependant on the arm you use but I went out of my way to listen to an Origin arm/Shelter combo recently and was impressed. Specifically, the Origin Live Illustrious arm, and a Shelter 901. I also heard the Shelter 501 and the Origin Live Encounter arm.

I listened to them on the recomendation of Tom(TWL). I talked to him recently and his advise to me was:Teres,Origin,Shelter.

Cheers
I remain
