Shelter 501 mk2 v mk3


Hi all

Just wondering if there is any discernible difference between the two? Except for output level the specs seem the same. The compliance is the same in real life as well as on paper? Thinking of picking up a used/nos some time. 
 

Thank you,

@lewm @mulveling thanks for your answers. Appreciate it. I’ve since discovered it’s the 901 has the slightly higher output. Also the mk3 version has a micro line stylus according to vinyl engine specs

So I’m thinking of going for a 901 now instead but the different versions of stylus’ssss always has me confused. 

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.

No the Shelters use elliptical and line contact styli.

901mk3 uses line contact
