What Cartridge please?

A $9k cart seems ridiculous for a $1.5k table, let's get serious. There has to be a point of diminishing returns some where. 
I was thinking $2k for a cart is enough for this TT. Or is the Concept more capable?

I had a CA champion and satisfy arm, best results I had were with a ZYX Airy3. I also ran CA, denon, and benz on it but ZYX was better.

Read the threads on the AT-ART-9. LP Tunes has it for under $1100.00. or for even less money, under $500.00, you might want to consider the AT OC9 MKIII, also available at LP Tunes. The ART-9 stays right up there with the big boys and outdoes many of them at their own game.

Shawn - since you are using a Denon DL110 successfully - you might be able to switch to a Soundsmith Denon DL103 or 103R - but verify the compliance first

I was using the stock 103 for a couple of years - then upgraded to the Soundsmith version of the DL103 with a Ruby Cantilever and a Optimized Contour contact line diamond for superb performance.

The mods were well worth the money and I retained the same sonic signature that I like - just with bags more details and clarity

You could even send your cart to SS for a cantilever/stylus upgrade

Take a look at their options page

Soundsmith also now carries their own line of cartridges

Hope that helps
