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 second arm. The SPU Classic Eliptical the I had in there is boring needle and looking at what I have I took my old semi-worn Shelter 901 that I did not use for a few years. You know, tell whatever you want about this cartridge but the dynamic contrast it does is absolutely fantastic. It might be no so wild tonally but it is so impressive dynmicly and texturally! I really love it. In particularly the Mravinsky’s abstract virtualization of meaning Teutonic rendered by a bit scream character of Shelter made all the things beautifully-confusing. I would not mind to have Shelter 901 back to the service on the second arm to play older recordings where the chromatic richness of my reference Ortofon Jubilee is not truly serviceable.
