In Reply to: Crown Jewel posted by Bakedcod on April 25, 2001 at 12:55:14:
I have been told, direct from Japan, that the Crown Jewel SE cartridges I have bought are NOT the same as the Sheltor cartridges. A reviewer who has had both a Sheltor 501 and CJ SE told me the CJ SE was by far the superior cartridge. Also when the Japan trading Co. first startted selling the Sheltor 501 they told everyone this was the Crown Jewel SE. Now they have in their ads the Sheltor 901, selling at $1300, and claiming this is the CJ SE. Do you believe?
As a result of this, and the fact that I have heard from several customers of reliabliity problems with the Sheltors, I have discontinued the buying of the Crown Jewel cartridge. I sold over 500 cartridges and for what it's worth, have always enjoyed it more than any other cartridge I have ever heard until recently. (The Kondo IO-j is my new reference which has made my CJ SE sound like a toy. See Bill Gaw's review at http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/0401/aachapter20.htmHAPPY LISTENING,

Hi Steve;Thnaks for clarifying some of the issue.
Looking at the web page showing the Shelter 501, it does look like my Crown Jewel SE, even the boxes it comes in and the stylus guard.
Well, what can we, the owner of the Crown Jewel do, when we need it do be re-tiped???
Also, the Kondo cartr. you mentioned costs several time the price of the Crown Jewel SE. To rich for my blood.
Send it to someone like the Cartridge Man in the UK.
Should come in at under USD500.
