Audio Technica AT-ART1000X

My current cart is a dynavector XXII mkII now out being retipped. Might be a good time to try another cart and have two which can be easily interchanged because of the Technics headshells. Have to keep in mind the a cart suitable for the Lejonklou Entity

I had an ART 1000 and a Hyperion and was trying to decide which one to buy.  I mounted them in two identical headshells for the comparison using my SL1200GAE.  As far as I know the only difference between your arm and mine is that mine is magnesium and yours is aluminum.  I believe the effective mass of the two is similar, close enough for all practical purposes.  Anyway, the AT 1000 worked fine in my TT and is one of the nicest cartridges I have ever heard.  These TTs are way better than people want to give them credit for, then and now.  Your TT will allow the AT 1000 to perform without limitation.

"OP - The arm is the limiting factor on Technics turntables. Something at the level of a Hana Umami Blue would probably make more sense. However, I agree that Technics TTs are underrated.

OP, I had the same Q. It works quite well. The G was replaced with the SL-1000R.

One thing you may want to consider is what phono stage you are using and what SUT you are considering.  

While there are no hard rules beyond the obvious arm matching, I do have some general rough math I try to work with. 

Turntable and phono should be approximately equal price. 
Cart should be capped at about half of turntable. 

I don’t follow that exactly because I got an SUT which threw things off, but that’s my general thought process and I think it holds up until you’ll looking at a deeper 5 figure vinyl chain.
