mreeter, I think your situation very much matched mine. It's not a phase issue unless AT miss marked the posts. I'll be sending mine back if the seller will accept it.
Thank you to all have offered help.

Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful
I have a new ART9, maybe 2 hours on it. I used to run a Dynavector 10x5. With the ART9 the bass is very tubby or exaggerated. The soundstage is shifted to the left. I never heard either situation from the 10x5...nor is it consistent with cd of same albums. It really sounds terrible.
I've checked the cartridge out and nothing looks out of the ordinary. The vtf is set at 1.8...experimented with 1.7, 1.9 and 2.0 just to see. No luck. VTA has the arm visually level...I've experimented with different angles. No luck.
Turntable: Basis Audio 2001
Tonearm: Basis Audio Vector III
Rogue Ares: Phono stage (set at 100 ohms)
The system has not changed other than the cartridge.
Any suggestions or ideas about how to correct the problem?
Thx
