New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running.....

Just installed a new AT ART9XA cartridge and it sounds excellent, so enjoyable listening to music with this cartridge. It replaces a highly regarded LOMC that was an upgrade from my original ART9.
The ART9XA beats the "highly regarded" one.

The XA is the lower output air core version of the new ART9 series having .2 mv output vs. the new ART9XI with .5 mv.
The XA also has a shibata profile vs. the SLC of the XI.

Hat's off to the threads on this forum that started the legend of the ART9 (Pani and Oregon Pappa) 

I am loving my recordings more than ever with the new XA. Peace.

Could a more detailed description be offered on how the Art 9XA is perceived as a better Cartridge than the Ortofon Cadenza Blue.

I am familiar with Ortofon and they are my go to Cartridge.
So the XA now has my attention, when such a comparison is offered.

I will give it a few days an contact Keegiam.

The link is to a Page on the forum, I posted a review by a Person whom I trust with a assessment.
In this case it is about the XA.

Thank you for your sharing further info on the C' Blue vs XA,
and I'm Glad the report posted from the German forum on the XA proved to be useful.
