Is there an owner who uses this Cartridge ( not the 501 II ) and can write a few lines about the abilities of this one ? Info about this one is very rare, but I heard it is absolutely amazing. True ?? Thanks
thomas, if you do wind up getting one let us know what you think. i've been really curious too ever since i read about it on salvatore's page. unfortunately i saw the info just after i bought a glider.
Well, as far as I understand Salvatore never used this cartridge personally, anywayÂ…I use it and find it remarkably good. It will do some very-very minor Hi-Fi-ness compare to the best Koetsu cartridges but it you mate it with correct step-up (the Shelter original step-up is garbage) then it will do very serious job.
Anyone have insights into Salvatore's claims that the Shelter is the exact same cartridge as a mega-bucks "hi-fi" brand name unit? If this is true, this has to be one of the biggest scams running. Also, is this only available direct from Japan?
