Clearaudio Maestro or Shelter 501


Trying to decide to stay with mm or jump into the world of MC. Looking for advice to help me steer the right way. I do love the sound of the Maestro but in reading a lot of threads on this site, a lot of people seem to get more from the MC cartridges. Thanks in advance!

How do you like your clearaudioi emotion? What other TTs have you had and how did you like them?
I had a buddy who had Clearaudio champion with shelter 501 and aurum beta S cart (clearaudio).
I felt that the clearaudio cart matched the clearaudio table better. The 501 sounded a bit too lightweight in that clearaudio table.
Few years later, another buddy had a vpi scout or scoutmaster with the 501 mk2. I felt it sounded way better on that table.
Again, ymmv....
