In Reply to: Has anyone else seen the new Shelter 201 moving magnet? posted by nightdoggy on April 17, 2007 at 13:03:51:
I thought it was something special new from Shelter when I ordered from Elusive Disc. When I took it to my buddies at the repair shop to setuo from me they noticed it was the same as a Sumiko Pearl rebadged, and it even took the same replacement stylus. Compare the specs. I contacted Elusive and the Shelter Dist. They never gave me a straight answer, but did give me an exchange. I ended up buying a Clearaudio Aurum beta. But to this day I believe the Shelter 201 is a rebadged Sumiko Pearl. They never argued my complaint or told me I was wrong. But the 201 is double the money of the Pearl.
