1K sleeper MC cart?


My Audio Technica ART9 is going to Soundsmith for a rebuild. Mine almost made it to 3 years!

I'm considering just getting another one because I've been so pleased with its performance.

Curious if any ART9 owners have found a similar "sleeper" in the same price point. I can't go
any lower(.5mv) in output. Its going on a VPI Classic table.

Soundsmith is introducing new versions of their carts and there are great deals on the old versions at Music Direct, Elusive Disk, Upscale Audio, etc.
The Otello, Carmen and Zephyr MkIII are all now under $1k and the $2k Zephyr MIMC is down to $1,200. All are very well reviewed and can be rebuilt for only 20% of MSRP when the time comes.

no affiliation, just a fan of Soundsmith
