Dear @chakster : That listed 9000 in no way is overpriced and no not even five MM/MI can performs as the 9000.
Yes, years ago I started the MM/MI thread and yes I was exited and even J.Carr and I had some hot dialogues there because I told him the reasons of the MM/MI superiority ( what I experienced with. ) and one of those reasons was: lower distortion levels and he posted that LOMC cartridges has way lower distortions but I insisted to him that he was wrong.
Through the years I learned ( everyone has the rigth to learns. ) that J.Carr was in that special regards: spot on and in all what he shared with all of us.
Obviously you as any one of us have to learn of several audio subjects and cartridges is one of them as tonearms or tubes too.
So what?, so nothing . Name of the audio game always is knowledge/ignorance levels along each one habilities to learn and to have a positive/willing attitude to learn and don't stay sticky all the time.
Have fun.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
