Shelter 901 Cartridge
The Shelter 411 transformer is an ideal match for both the 501 and 901.The 411 is very transparent and totally quiet.Excellent buy at the price.I highly recommend the VPI JMW 10 or 12 tonearms with the Shelters.

Acoustic Zen vs. Coincident CST
Cable capacitance may be relevant in cases where circuit impedance is high.It is therefore not recommended to have high cable capacitance on the output circuit of a preamp with a source impedance of a 500 ohms or higher.The output circuit impedanc... 
Acoustic Zen vs. Coincident CST
I would like to address some technical points applicable to speaker cables in general and how they apply to the Coincident CST1 and TRS speaker cables in particular.It is commonly mentioned that capacitance is an important fator in speaker cable p...
