Whilst at Angie’s she played some vinyl through the KC Vibe Mk 2 ( $900) and then went through the gain functions inside the unit the sound and presence of the recording so blew me away that I was left with no option but to purchase it.
The publisher of Audiophilia and close friend, Anthony Kershaw, was kind enough to lend me the Shelter so I could transform my vinyl listening experience from banal to memorable. A couple of years ago I drove to Angie Lisi’s American Sound of Canada store in northern Toronto to have my Pro-ject Red cartridge replaced with the Shelter Model 501 III MC.
