hana sl or one of the AT-ART9?

I wouldn't buy either of those cartridges.

For similar money I would recommend the Van den Hul MC One or Van den Hul DDT. Alternately the Dynavector XX1 is also very good.

Much more refined than either the Hana or ART.

dover about the Van den Hul MC One i read a mixed review .
a better on the DDT.
cant find any review for the  XX1, think it's discontinued .

i think that my decision now is going to be between one of the  ART-9XI/XA, and the Van den Hul DDT.

@stone1

The van den hul DDT/MC one have a very relaxed presentation, but dig deep. You can hear right into subtle detail, without the sound becoming bass heavy or bright - they are pretty neutral. They are beautifully balanced, allowing you to hear right into the performance. I would push to the MC One Special if you can afford it.

The AT9 series tends to be a little more clinical.

Both are great value.

Very much depends on the rest of your system and how you want to voice it.

Also be mindful of your phono stage and gain - matching is important.

The Well Tempered is now owned by Dynavector shareholders and were commonly demoed together as a pairing for many years. Also Well Tempered / Van den Hul was a common pairing with excellent results.

thanks dover
when you are saying "very relaxed presentation" it does not come on the account of some vividness/punch, or highs details?

on the MC One Special, i read some mixed review.
but i will check again.
the difference of price between  the two is not so significant.

btw, what do you think about benz micro,
i used 2 of them in the past, but after twice the cantilever braked  i'm bit carful with them
for the phono stage and gain - matching , my current phono is up to 59 db and i work now with a 0.25 mv cartridge.
the VDH is 0.65 mv, so its enough.
but i am planning to upgrade my phono, and will be glad to here suggestions.
can be around 1000-1500 $.
