Christmas time, old friend comes by for a visit
I’m listening to a fresh install of an Audio Technica ART9.
Made the mistake of perusing the listings, and found a NIB at a sane , negotiable price.
This is the second ART9, i’ve used. Enjoyed it, and moved up the food chain by way of a great deal(2X retail) That cart lasted little over a year.
A self imposed downgrade to a Soundsmith Otello(nearly 3x LESS) kept me happy. Clearly, not enough for me to resist hitting the buy now button!
I’m reminded the ART9 gives a good slice of what the fuss is all about$$.
About 5 albums old, it brought back the amazing bass, clear mids and highs that the $400 SS Otello just couldn’t compete with.
Merry Christmas to ME!
