Shelter 501 mk 2/ ZYX R100H


Before I spend a lot of money on the Shelter 501 mk2 (850usd)i like to know if the ZYX R 100H (the black one) is a better Pickup it´s a littel more expensive (890usd).

When you get a chance to break your cartridge in, do report back and let us know how it sounds. What cartridge did you own previously? I look forward to your assessment.

I found the Shelter 501 mk2 to be overall the best cartridge I have owned, being organic, dynamic, detailed, very open and clear without ever sounding harsh or fatiguing. Haven't heard the ZYX so I can't compare.
Hi!

I got the Helius Omega Mk 2 arm home the finish was not that good so I complaint and to send it back to Helius, but I had to wait for spare parts one month, Helius gave me a very good service and upgraded the arm to a newer version for free, in the mean time I fund an offer I cut hot say no to, a Graham phantom BB 44 new on this side for 3100$ so I bought it, had to sell my Voyd Refence, and the Helius arm to, the Graham arm don´t fit on it. The Voyd I sold, but the arm got Scram from me On E-bay, had to contact the Italian police. Now I am waiting for a refund from the Danish's postoffice it take one month to get the refund, then I have to order the Raven one and wait at least one month more. My Shelter 501 MK 2 is good but have not play the 100 to 200 hours yet.
