Dynavector 20x2 vs Audio Technica ART-9.


For those who’ve heard / owned both, which would you say is better for a VPI Scout listening to all genres - rock, pop, jazz, electronic, metal? Looking for a balanced, neutral sound, although I don’t mind it being a touch on the warm side. Dynamic but non fatiguing, deep well defined (but not bloated) bass, and sparkly (but not hot) treble. Thanks!

Thanks for the info!

My phono preamp is an Avid Pulsus, so good quality and capable of the volume range you mentioned.

The ART-7 might be too polite for harder hitting genres, being a cart I mostly see recommended for acoustic jazz and classical.

"Why does one ask another what one is considering as their frame of reference?"

Perhaps one would like to hear the opinions of others that have heard both carts. So would one refrain from posting snarky comments? Thanks.
