AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance
Yes, the XA and the V is aperfect combo about that resonance frequency. Here you can confirm that the 10cu is at 100hz like the ART7 that's from where the XA came: https://www.analogueseduction.net/cartridges2/atart7.html R. |
Avanti, endless thanks, your research solves my misunderstanding. The truth is that I should have been able to track this down on my own, but the subject can be daunting. Now I know that the XA's compliance is actually in the 15-20 range when using resources like the Vinyl Engine chart. The ART9XA it is, and I'll order the resistors for the Classe tomorrow. The importance we give these matters might seem obsessive to many, but we really hear this stuff. |
I may be a bit late to this post but I've just joined the site. Got myself an art 9 xi two weeks ago and if it helps anyone who's interested here's my twopenneth. It's on a roksan radius/Nima arm/Tom Evans micro groove.id read lots on here which helped alot so thanks alot.art 9 replaced an ortofon quintet blue which I like alot and at first I was wondering if I'd wasted my money. I honestly couldn't hear or " see " much difference. I know from reading on here and elsewhere that running in is important so I've been working on setup for the last two weeks and playing tunes as much as possible. This things so tiny I was struggling with azimuth and then a few days ago I had an idea. I'm sure someone will shoot me down but here goes. I have a test record which chucks out seperate channel tones but I have nothing to test it with so I downloaded a spectrum analyser to my phone,measured a perfect triangle from each speaker and set phone in dead centre then played the test record.i was a good few db out so with some gentle twisting I managed to get the reading the same on both sides.dont know if it's that or the fact that the art 9 is getting some hours on it now but it's definitely a keeper for me.it even made the good lady smile!! |
