If an individual has a taste for a particular type of sound the integration of critical parts in the Upstream end will be critical for maintaining the pleasure side to the sound already attained. The Cart' is as Upstream as one can, with Audio Equipment used to replay Vinyl LP's. A I'll thought out selection will undoubtedly get you listening to music. A careful selection made from assessing listening will be a much more sure footed approach, but this take footwork. I bought into the Hana SL and it was not in anyway attractive to my preferences for a produced sound and influence on a production. The Cart' is stored with very short usage and kept as a loaner Cart'. I still have a interest in Hana and will get some time in front of the 'Blue'. I suggest to commence hearing Cart's a headphones are used to hear VAS NY Inc needle drops of his work and repairs. The needle drops will enable you to assess the Cart's Tonal Range, I. E, whether is is Bloomy, Rich or Lean. Brands have similar traits in a Cart's voicing, learning about these can be quite valuable. I can't recommend buying on hear say. |
"I keep hearing mixed opinions about the ART9XA vs the ART9XI ." No real "bad choice." If you listen carefully, you might hear the differences. Audio-Technica AT-ART9 vs AT-ART9XA vs AT-ART9XI Moving Coil Cartridge (youtube.com) Too bad this wasn't done with a nice setup.
