I’m still enjoying my ART-9. Very musical, detailed in an organic way ... and never calls attention to itself. Human voice is very life-like and reach out and touch it. Like the AT OC9 MKIII, it plays mono records superbly too. For a retail price of under 1k these days, its a bargain for such a giant killer.
I haven’t heard the Delos, but I did own the Clavis for a few years. Both the ART-9 and the Clavis are real killers on piano. Like they say, get the piano right and the rest will follow suit.
The ART-9 is every bit as good as the Clavis was, and then some. The ART-9 doesn't have the typical rising top end of most MC's ... and that's a plus if you're interested in accuracy.
