The cat's out of the bag

I figured it could not be anything great. Anything from Shelter for $200? That's enough right there. The new Ortofon M2 Blue is the same price and the M2 is a completely new, ground up design that supposedly took two years to develop. I think we'll see new models coming along more often from others. That's refreshing because most of the available cartridges are old designs.
I think the Pearl has a bonded stylus. Considering that even the Shure 97 and A-T 120 and 440 models have nude styli, there is no excuse for that in a $200 cartridge.
The fact that Shelter was even interested in offering such an inexpensive cartridge is indicative of a very healthy vinyl resurgence, I think.
