The first 5 series model 501 was launched more than 10 years ago with its design goal of well-balance, easy to use and comfort, and that philosophy is inherited to the latest model of 501 III. 5 series do not u se new material nor have novel technology so in true meaning it is an orthodox MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShelter believes that as a manufacture it is essential to carry same model with modifying the product for a long time. 501 is also designed with materials that are always available and used. The motor assembly is simple structure combining the double layers of OFC wires wound into the iron core in normal way and aluminum clad boron cantilever. As the result it is simple yet very stable in every aspect. The output voltage is adequate 0.5mV also it accords with most tone-arms. 501 III reproduces the music straightly without asking the recorded year or music genre. The balance of expressiveness, resolving power and energy feel achieved at highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 501 will adapt to your audio system naturally and creates new standard of the
