So you're saying a 400.00 cart isn't as good as a 1000.00 cart.
OK?
OK?
Christmas time, old friend comes by for a visit
I’m listening to a fresh install of an Audio Technica ART9.
Made the mistake of perusing the listings, and found a NIB at a sane , negotiable price.
This is the second ART9, i’ve used. Enjoyed it, and moved up the food chain by way of a great deal(2X retail) That cart lasted little over a year.
A self imposed downgrade to a Soundsmith Otello(nearly 3x LESS) kept me happy. Clearly, not enough for me to resist hitting the buy now button!
I’m reminded the ART9 gives a good slice of what the fuss is all about$$.
About 5 albums old, it brought back the amazing bass, clear mids and highs that the $400 SS Otello just couldn’t compete with.
Merry Christmas to ME!

The SS Moving Iron cartridges can be loaded at 100k Ohm if you want to hear something different. But you're listening to AT's MicroLine stylus (one of the best ever) and plain Elliptical on SoundSmith cartridge. The MicroLine stylus reproduce everything that on the record correctly while the Elliptical simply can't do that. I like the AT "stock sound", especially their old MM with MicroLine stylus. |
