Anyone with Rhea and Shelter 501MkII?

I'd love to know which settings to use on the Rhea with this cartridge. Instruction manual for the Shelter is so confusing.

Thanks.

Because your Rhea doesn't use transformers, I'd say your goal is 100 ohms. Therefore, Set your Rhea at 75 ohms or 125 ohms (the closest you can get to 100). Whichever sounds better. GAIN Your cartridge has output voltage of 0.5mV. This calls for a gain of 56dB. Your Rhea hits this on the nose.
