Ear 834 P, ortofon kontrapunk A, Rega P9


Does anabody have a clue about this match? Listening to jazz, vocal, classic, I'm planning to buy the Ear 834P Mc and I'm offered a Kontrapunk A. I have an Audiomat integrated and Equation 7 with a Rega P9 and RB 900. Would the Kontrapunk B or Dynavector 17 mk II Karat be a better choice?
Thanks for your help

MC transformers in E.A.R. 834 are nothing to write home about, but Kontrapunkt B is good enough cartridge to treat well. I would go for separate transformers in addition to MM-only 834. Ortofon should be OK on RB900, though it works better with heavier arms. You can easily add some weith to RB though.
