Cart for VPI Scout? Blackbird, Ruby2H, Shelter 901

Thank you!

How about a Benz Ebony LP?

Dear Matt: What are you looking for ? Which are your music/sound reproduction priorities? Which musical genre do you listen ?.

I 'm owner or was a owner of those four cartridges: Sumiko Celebration, Shelther 901, Ruby 2 and the LP.

These cartridges have different sound reproduction presentation. I really like the Celebration and the Ruby 2, hands down the 901. The LP is a top performer but a little idyosincrasy.

Regards and enjoy the music.

I also use the Dynavector 17DmkII. I know you mentioned getting a deal. But if one matches better than the other...

i used a celebration with my scout, and do now with my scoutmaster. what can i say that already hasn't been said (do a search) here and other places? just a terrific cartridge and a perfect match for the jmw9. and with .5mv output, pretty easy to match with a phono pre, yet you get many of the same benefits you'd get with a lower output mc. anyway, i doubt you'd be sorry with it.

Ok, I think I have narrowed my choice to a Shelter 901, and ZYX R100 Fuji FS.

I listen to mostly Jazz and Classic rock. What would be the better choice? I also want a superb tracker. Mistracking really bugs me.
