Anyone have experience w/Shelter 501 II?


Anyone who has owned or heard the Shelter 501 II cartridge, I would be interested in your feelings (pro or con) and what you like or don't like about it.

My musical tastes are classical, jazz and folk. I have a VPI 'Scout' w/arm.

Thanks, in advance for any input.

Regards,

AEW

This combo should not work well together. The low compliance of the 501 should minimally require a tonearm with 11gm effective mass, the jmw9 is 7.7. There are ways to get around this, adding mass to the arm, such as Cartridge Man Isololator or weights.
