1K sleeper MC cart?

@invictus005, I have a Shelter 901, Shelter 501, Lyra Helikon, Koetsu Blackline and a Miyabi Standard that says you couldn't be more wrong.

Agreed, a crashed cart just isn't the same with a replaced cantilever

The ART 9 really is a great all around package.Coming from Benz Glider and Sumiko Blackbird, those two, to my ears were opposite each other. The 9 is somewhere in the middle.

Taking the leap of faith for the 9 was rewarding. Finding a different cart that exceeds this time around, may be more difficult. Very subjective and
expensive.

AT-33PTG/II and it’s only $500 from 2juki on eBay.

The AT33PTG caught my attention a few years ago, but I passed because of extra expense of a step up/cables. I have also read the 33 may present itself as warm compared to the 9. Not my preference.

As mentioned, if I bothered with that, the ART7 is the one I’m curious about. I’d like to try this model, since it’s a different build than others. The AT50ANV looks interesting, but its still a few hundred more+
Air core/low output likely not happening$$.

Is the SA version just a tweaked PTG for the US market?
