Shelter 501 II Tracking Force

You are on the edge, if you track at 1.8 gram and all is well, hang loose. If you notice big woofer movement on warped LP's, you may want to consider the 3 gram weight. We have it available.

i actually have it right now at 1,7, seems ok. sounds a bit lightweight though.

i should consider the 3g weight.

thanks again

in the meantime i dont have the 3g, do you still recommend putting it at 3g ?

He didn't recommend setting VTF at 3g. He recommended setting VTF at 1.8g whether you have the 3g headshell weight or not.

IME 1.8g is a good starting place for a Shelter, but fine tuning by ear is necessary, as with any cartridge.

P.S. Shelters are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. You'll need less VTF in hot/damp weather, more VTF in cold/dry weather.

thanks for the inputs!!
