I am familiar with Ortofon and they are my go to Cartridge.
So the XA now has my attention, when such a comparison is offered.
New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running.....
I will give it a few days an contact Keegiam. The link is to a Page on the forum, I posted a review by a Person whom I trust with a assessment. In this case it is about the XA. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/at-art9xi-cartridge-reduced-compliance/post?postid=2027362#20... |
@pindac Oh yes, I remember that post
now. That was on a thread I started way back when I was trying to decide
whether to go with the older ART9 or the new ART9XI. In fact, that was
one of the posts that began pushing me toward the XA and getting my preamp’s MC
gain bumped up to be able to handle the XA’s .2mv output. It was one of Avanti1960’s posts on
this thread that finally drove me to the XA.
