[quote user="N-set"]I'm wondering if the current 901mkII holds the candle? (...which would be against the industry practice, but...)It can be gotten for $1500 in some japanese online shops, but there does not seem to be much feedback around.[/quo...

Two weeks ago when I realized that something was wrong with my Shelter I asked a guy that I know “How people buy cartridges nowadays?” He said “They talk a lot with other people”. “I will not do it”, was my reply. Well, not two weeks after I ha...

Hi, I'll be very interested to see what you end up with. I really like my Shelter 901, but would like something which gives me a little more of the sound that i'm getting from my tuner. What do I mean by that, more realistic space/tone pe...

Yesterday a local audio guy to me with this idiotic cartridge experiments and I was forced to dis-calibrate my second arm. So, this morning I felt to go for Mravinsky Bruckner 8 that I have only on record and I was thinking what needle to put in my s...

I lately look at the noise created around the Shelter cartridges and I wonder what is going on. Shelter was doing wonderful cartridges, more or less responsibly priced and people use it for years. Bunch of the typical industry scams in past did their...

Shelter's can be got from Tokyo stores at a lower price than the West but none I know of can export at that price point. Basically you need a friend/contact to get it for you.This store has a good price and at times even lower...http://store.yah...

Ok, I desired to go to the bottom of it and found what was/is the problem with Shelter’s tendency for high static. First I checked the arm. Putting 3 different cartridges (with own head-shell) to my 3012I recognize that there was zero static du...

It is not a secret that I am fan of Shelter cartridges. I do not use them but I like them, though I do not know how good they are good nowadays - 10 years ego the 901 were very fine… I am not on cartridges market anymore but I got today an email ...

Did you manage to listen the 90x? Do you think those performance differences have any influence on the music in your system?...

I load my 901 with 42K that behind my transformer that makes it 68R. It’s given that I always tend to load my cartridges slightly harder: have my reasons. I would suggest to load 901 with ~80-90R. The load of 510R suggests that something is tonally/m...

Hello RomyI like Shelters as well, so I finally scrubbed-up enough money and began to search. I was always happy with 901, but there were none around. Last night I got a 90X, with (supposedly) around 100 hrs on it, within driving distance. So today I...

[quote user="decoud"]Yes, it is built according to the schematic, but by someone else, from whom I have only just received it. The opt is custom-made nanocrystalline amorphous core, gapped at 300mA and running 200V/240mA. [/quote]Very good. The 200V/...

This cartridge does not just pick the dust but the static is heard via speakers if to listen it properly. I played today the “fixed” shelter and it LOVE the sound of it but why the hell Shelter picks dust so aggressively? With open belly of the ...

After all, I have learned that there is deference between the 901 and 90x. I wonder why on one “reviewer”, dealer or distributor were not able to explain the differences. Also, form this table it is very understandable why many people with metal ring...

What I find interesting is that none of the Japanese store that sell cartridges for domestic marker sell the Shelter 90X. Who knows, perhaps the 90X is the big conspiracy between Shelter and US importers who decided to capitalize on the success of Sh...

Hi there,Newbie here and first time posting. I saw Shelter posting dated back to the early 2000 and not much since then. My question: is it still a good MC?I will travel to Japan this December and am interested in getting a Shelter. I understand the ...

[quote user="drdna"]1. This may simply be a symptom of electricity variability. I would listen for a few days and see if it improves. [/quote]
Do you mean that electricity affects the sound of one cartridge but not another? I doubt that, parti...

It is it; I officially close my books on my Shelter as I refuse to understand what it does. I pulled today from my shelf my collection of earliest Denon PCM recordings on LP the Denon record in end of the 78s. I generally do not like this entire seri...

Good day, asking experts if it's worth mounting a Shelter 901 on a SME 309 arm. Resonance frequency shuld get upto to 12.86hz (being 17.6gr arm+cartridge and 9cu Shelter's compliance) which guess too high. Any guideline ? Many tks for advise. Cia...

Hello Romy and thank you for a fast replyYou are absolutely correct, but it's the question of money, which I don't have a lot of. Like we say in Russia - "Bednost ne porok, no bolshoe svinstvo" :-) So when I saw this one for $1000 (new Shelters are s...

What would be good place to start? I am using custom built 834P and S&B 103s. Also, my tonearm is 9-inch SME M2, should I put some additional weight on it?Thank you....

Last week I sent my DAW’s DAC cable for refueling. The FM programs are slow – the concert season starts in a couple of weeks and everyone are resting now. So, I am spinning some records that made me to pay attention to the status of my analog. What I...

Today the electricity was wonderful and I had some time spent playing records. I was playing only my ill Shelter and I really did not like what I heard. At this point I might confirm that even the lowest bass is not where I would like it to be – it l...

[quote user="starboy"]I decided recently to add the Shelter 901 to my collection of 'Groove Riderz' and wondered what was the justification of the price hike for the 90X. Read the same review as yourself and thought that I learn't nothing other than ...

Ok Romy thanks for advice. I will see about the loading for my shelter, and my cable to the step-up is nothing special. I am going to listen to mono only for next few weeks and see if i find the "same character of sound everywhere" syndrome! I do h...
