New Audio Technica


Looks like AT will be offering something between it's top dog ART 1000 and ART9.

Big fan of the ART9. If I had a table/setup worthy, I'm all in for the ART1000

On VA, the price was quoted as ~$2500.  I can't see the ad you quoted, in English, only shows up in Japanese, but the price is 330,000yen, which today converts to $2718US. It doesn't have its coils on the stylus end of the cantilever, so the relationship to the AT1000 is distant at best. I'd like to hear it.

My browser(chrome) has a translate function. The ART20 isn't an air core, as ART1000. At minimum it should perform at ART9 level,which is positive. Basic specs listed look about the same, but translated include titanium base. Picture shows stylus pressed into boron cantilever, instead of glued.
