Comparison ZYX Artisan against Tom Evans Groove ?

I owned the Groove. It is very good in many areas but its lack of flexibility is a major drawback. You can't adapt it to other cartridges without sending it back to the factory. Also at its price point it can be bettered and for a little more significantly surpassed.

I don't know much about the ZYX artisan but I am in heaven w. my WNA audio preamp. You already have one of the worlds great phono stages.

Ebarker,

Having owned a Groove my guess is that they couldn't adjust the Groove properly to match the cartridge. In the end that is why I sold mine. It will sound broken of the load is wrong, but so will any phono preamp.
