Starboy, you are lucky. You got with what you feel comfortable, BTW, does it do bass? I wonder how you approached the cartridge? Did you hear somewhere the cartridge or heard from about it from someone? The reason I asked is because I really do not know how people drawn to cartridges.

In my case I have problem to talk with audio professionals who sell cartridges. My attitude, you know…. I always feel that when they talk to me they talk to 5 years old why would be satisfied with any BS they are willing to say. I called today to Shelter distributor and told that I use 901 for 10 year and adore it a lot but lately it developed a compression. I asked since they do not case 901 anymore then how the new 4 Shelters models compare to my 901. He said that they are better (who could believe). I asked how better. He said that the new cartridges are better because they have more heavy bodies. Is he out if his mind or he feels that anyone is as idiot as he is? I do not know.  Those people annoy me.

What interesting was that I asked that I have seen many companies produce “flow up” product after their successful models that are in fact much worse in performance.  I know that 901 was very fine, so how the 5000, 7000 and 9000 models in compare to 901. He refused to comment on it and suggested to re-tip my 901 ($900). You know, I do not like the guy and he treated me that I am a fool - why should I pay to him $900?

What also interest me is what the faction of the cartridge dealers? They sell 901 for $1600, Japan sell it for $900. I have no problem with mark up but I presume that for this money the shell sell service. When I go to my Thai restaurant then I ask them to bring me a compilation of all their spices – I like them all and I do love to eat them all. So, when I am willing to buy a cartridge then would the assortment of cartridge available for me to try constitute the “service”? Sine those gays are not qualified or able to talk about Sound (did I mention a responsibly for said) then what other options do I have? If I am willing to buy cartridges “blind” then why do I have to pay any commission to the dealers and distributors that offer no add-value services but just move heavy little boxes with 11g cartridges?
