You may consider Zyx Ultimate 100 H, nearly same pricing as AT ART9Xi but with slightly higher output. More neutral, warmer and faster.
Hanas are fine both ML and Tunami but above that cames the Etsuro Urushi which is amazing.
hana sl or one of the AT-ART9?
i read that the original ART9 was DISCONTINUED.
there are two other options.
AT-ART9XI with Output Voltage 0.5 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec.)
and AT-ART9XA with 0.2 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec.)
the lower output is a bit worry me.
any insights from members that tried both?
or there is still a way to get the ART9
