Hmm, your problem seems like an odd one? I wasn't aware that the Shelter 501 was such a heavy Cartridge?
Not to diss you, or you choice of Cartridges, but with such a Table, you should be well beyond such a meager piece to place on your Turntable. From what I have read, the Shelter is, oh well, not that good.
And not to diss the people here either, but many here are mid-fi users, and only a very select few will know anything about a VPI TNT Table.
In truth, you're even a multitude of steps above what I own, and consider good, which is an older VPI 19 MK-IV Table. Your TNT should stomp a mudhole in my Turntable!
But, I got what you don't have, a absolute killer Cartridge, the ZYX Airy 3X SB! And that Cartridge will stomp a mudhole in anything from anyone else under $5K
Of course a bold statement, I am a original at raising eyebrows, but it is true what I say.
All aside, and not to rock too many boats here, Mike, or even the master himself, Harry Weisfield will personally answer your questions if you call them.
VPI has crazy days, and hours though. I think they are closed monday, and friday. Regardless of this, they are a good company, just remember, don't get rude, and appease the pit bull woman who answers the phone, which is probably Harry's wife Sheila. Once you get past her, you got it made in the shade!
Other advice, there are probably dozens of folks who have the exact same set-up as you here, and can give you hands on help. Mark
