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 discovered was that something is wrong with my reference cartridge Shelter 901. I love the Shelter 901 but am not pleased what I heard recently. My Shelter begin to show compression and became disabled to play soft – is it the end of the life? I look at it under the scope and it look like it has live in it. I bought it in 1999, I have no idea how many hours on it but I have seen some heavy use. I still am not convinced that it is dead, though. I do not like an idea of a changing a cartridge on my reference arm…
