Okay, here above is the old warhorse Sumiko Pearl, which you can buy anywhere for Usd $95. Replaceable stylus, good moving mag cartridge that's been around since early 90's at least.
And here, looking extremely similar is the new Shelter 201, also a moving magnet, at or around $200.
Same cartridge, different stylus assembly, perhaps ?
Same cartridge, entirely ?( Those having long memories will recall that the original Shelter was the same as something called the Crown Jewel, which cost hundreds more than the then-little-known Shelter .... )
Wonder if anyone's got the inside track on this .........
