| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Thanks again to all who offered opinions on the ART9. I installed mine a few days ago and it's excellent. I didn't know how it could improve upon the OC9ii but it did. The mids are so nice. Ordered from the highly regarded seller in HK on a Th... | |
| What is Technics thinking? @Audiofun, thanks as well for posting your experience adjusting the torque. I look forward to experimenting with that as soon as I get this cartridge on. Would you use the lower mass headshell or the HS-25? | |
| What is Technics thinking? Thank you Audiofun. That puzzles me a little since the original SL-1200 also had a 12g tonearm mass IIRC. But the original was aluminum and the GAE is magnesium. They do have slightly different dimensions and I don't know the tube wall thicknes... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Does anyone know what the tonearm mass is on the GAE? An AT-ART9 just arrived and I'm not sure which headshell to use. I have a magnesium HS-25 and the original that came with the GAE. The HS-25 is about 12 grams. Audio-Technica says the ART9 ... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Four grand seems like a lot. But I grew up on Technics DD. Vinyl returned to my system a few years ago via an SL-1210M5G. It's modified with a KAB power supply and tonearm damper plus a Funkfirm achromat. It sits on the Isonoe footers and sorb... | |

| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge ARC makes such nice gear. I'm not familiar with the PH-8 but I've seen where ARC sometimes goes hybrid or used an internal SUT for moving coil but that's just from memory. My B2B-1 is FET and it is very quiet even with the extra stage for MC. H... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Thank you for your reply ORpapa. I brought vinyl back to my system a few years ago with the last of the SL-1210M5G and an AT440MLA. Moved on to a DL-103R. Then a friend gave me a broken OC9. For a reasonable fee AT replaced that with the MKII.... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Greetings all, I've been lurking and signed up to see if anyone had any suggestions on a headshell for the ART9. I just received the new SL1200GAE and have pretty much decided on the ART9 based on many of your comments and my own experience with ... |
