Shelter - 5000 Cartridge

"First, the 5000 offers significant performance improvements relative to the next model down in Shelter's product line – the award-winning $850 501 Mk II. Specifically, the 5000 surpasses its less costly little brother by delivering more detail, more sharply drawn dynamic contrasts, and a more fully fleshed out, three-dimensional soundstage…the Shelter 5000 cleanly delineates the timbres of individual voices and, just as importantly, shows each one is originating from its own specific location within the soundstage." – Chris Martens, The Absolute Sound, March 2008

The newest addition to Shelter's latest line of cartridges, this is the little brother of the 7000 and 9000 series. The 5000 promises to uphold Shelter's reputation of outstanding sonics at a reasonable price.
