It's fine...mine is also roughly 2mm as well.
Shelter 501mkii Cantilever Angle - Need Help
I purchased a Shelter 501mkii recently, and note that there isn't much clearence b/t the cartridge body and the record. I'd say 2mm or so. I'm wondering if this is normal. I think it would be difficult to track warped records with so little clearence, and am wondering if mine is allright. Shelter owners, if you don't mind, please take a look and tell me what kind of clearance yours has. Thanks, Peter S.
