This is very interring subject for me to think about. I even mounted 901 on another arm of mine as I would like to explore this topic more. Even though Jubilee is not broken-in yet but it is clearly that it has “less bass”, that last sensational “space crash” is not there. However, the Jubilee has “softer” bass and I mean the word “softer” in very positive connotation. It is not even “softness” but rather some kind of very fluent connectivity between space and LF notes where bass does not conflict with space but rather an organic part of the space. I have to agree that it is very natural and very present and it is quite different from what accustomed to recognize as “good bass”. I still would like to have juts beyond of that Jubilee’s non-contradictory bass the ability of the cartridge to open the door to the “other side of sub-word”, to the world of the sub-harmonics, that enable the whole system to play orgasmaticly slow and pleasurably bright. The Jubilee kind of not doing there but it on other side offers an interesting alternative of “different view on the bass”. I need to love with this for a while and to think about it. It very much might work…
Well, at this point I feel that I have absolutely no issues Jubilee’s bass. As cartridge is aged a little the bass got some “mass” and “essence”. I has very tiny bit of some Romanticism, very minor but at the time it does not substitute Romanism for performance and this romanticism ornaments bass instead of coloring it. The Jubilee’s bass is more moistured then Shelter’s bass and more “southern-like”. As the cartridge is playing now in context of the whole Jubilee experience I absolutely do not miss the Shelter’s bass anymore.
