Recently, I've been looking at the three cartridges you mention for upgrade. I have more gain with my phono stage, so based on my research of reviews I'd pick the XA. Assuming you have enough gain XA is the way to go.
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

@stone1 I have Modwright SWP9.0SE, 68db gain. I've not heard any of these cartridges, my choice would be based solely on reviews of all. |
