Hi Harold,
You must be optimistic, inquiring about a post nearly six years old! ;^)
In fact, I still have my beloved Shinon. However it has not been in my system in over two years. Some time ago I became distracted by Raul's post on MM cartridges and began buying some of the recommended models. I've seen your name there so know you are somewhat familiar. Then a friend gave up his analog system due to health reasons and made me a good deal on his collection of cartridges, both MC and Mi. The result of all this is a stockpile of at least a dozen cartridges I've not auditioned. On top of that I'm selling my Kuzma and building a couple of tables with multiple cartridge accommodations, but that keeps being delayed by non-audio reasons.
So, bottom line is I've not heard my Shinon for some time, and I now have many alternatives to compare with, so I can't answer your question. Sorry.
