uber,
I reread the review and recall him not knowing the difference either. Don’t quote me on that. There’s no markings on the cartridge body saying MkII. The Shelter had always been highly rated in the mags, always wanted to try one. Got a DEAL so we will see. From what the dealer said it came from an estate with almost no hours, so I'm expecting break-in time. (Weinhart Designs) You gotta trust someone, sometime. |
Haley Bonar "Big Star". Hasn't been through my latest cleaning regemin but still a great sounding record! |
@bkeske,
Once I get my Rock 7 up and running well, gonna send the Sussurro to SS then mount my Zephyr MIMC* ES on the VPI. |

Finishing up SRV "Couldn’t Stand the Weather" PurePleasure
..........................................................................
Getting reacquainted with my Rock 7 after almost 2 years. Started familiarizing myself with the leveling process again, which ain’t too easy... it involves several things working in conjunction with each other. Got my re-wired arm on. Probably put the Shelter 501 MkII when that step comes. But for now, some SRV.
Played two sides before I realized my subs were in stand-by. |
Gonna try a (MyMat sandwich) this weekend. A 5mm, Funk Firm Achromat in the middle. |
Jim,
@noromance, recommended it to me a while back. |
|
@bkeske,
I have an Ortofon Cadenza mono..... last time I mounted it, I got a little distortion. Realized later I didn't take into account the slight/off STP distance my VPI still has. Need to re-try. |

Uber,
Doubt if Dawes will be your 'cup of tea'. Hope you give them a chance. |
Hey Brian,
Now, if you're like me......
You have to make life-changing decisions like, am I going to work or listen, am I going to sleep or listen....and so on..... |
Death Cab is a helluva band! |

Continuing with the Wilco box................
Wonderful!!!! |
Fell asleep.
Finishing Wilco |
Well, I stand corrected. Put on side one of my pp/UK/Harvest and it sounds somewhat warmer, more like it's from that era.
|
My middle name is (anal). I can hear when the VPI gets off level. Being it's support structure is mounted on the wall, (it is still in the Mercy of expansion/contraction) it will change slightly.......less so now with my decoupling system. |
.....I feel like Carolina
I split myself in two... |
Hey @bkeske,
Regarding your releveling....
Sometimes, as with my Rock 7, items with springs take some settling time over days/playing time.
That's why I set up my Rock ahead of installing a cartridge. I've seen it's level change since Friday. |
Jim
I am a believer in keeping the feet tight to the tt base. Leveling should be done on the platform! |
