| Guess who has new speakers in their lab? THE Sonus Faber...yawn. Jay is quite fortunate to have such opportunity to play with audio excess. Post Serblin SF just isn't exciting IMO. | |

| Mobile Fidelity Ultradeck I gave the Ultradeck spin just before it was introduced 6 years ago. Now a great deck at the closeout price. Worthy of a $1K or so cart as long as you have an equally competent phonostage. | |

| AT-OC9XMLvs AT-OC9XSH "Still, I can't imagine you'd be happy with the results" The OP was previosly satisfied with the OC9. The ART9 has extensive positive user threads here, and other forums. Cart choice like many things audio, is just personal ear preference. | |
