Shelter 901 Cartridge


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

Hi Kublakhan,
thank you, yes I did before.
But there is no exact description about it's abilities.
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.
1.Which step-up would be "correct"? Do I need step-up at all?
2.What arm(s) would you recomend as a good match to Shelter?
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?
