Audio Technica AT-ART1000X


Would I be crazy to mount a Audio Technica AT-ART1000X on my new Technics SL1300G? Will the SL1300G adequately allow the cart to sing?

Hopefully you have a phonostage good enough to make the ART 1000 sing?

If not, waste of a "big leagues" cart.

ART 9 seems more appropriate for that level of table.

As lewm mentions, no rules. 

There are probably many ways to spend $5500+ on "upgrading" LP performance on the OP’s Technics 1300G.

I’d go ART 20 and perhaps use the rest in a future upgrade of a next level phonostage.

The ART 20 likely isn’t THAT far off in performance(relative to the OP’s existing hardware) with the ART 1000? 

OP’s phonostage is good and gets solid Stereophile review, but we all know there’s always something better. Lejonklou Entity phono preamplifier | Stereophile.com

Once that’s in place, the OP can save for the SP -10-RE-S, a nice arm, THEN get the ART 1000!
