| Does anyone have experience with seller Kron on cartridges? @pintreeCarter, look at the whole list the Audio-Technica authorized dealers in the USA, i'm pretty sure some of them still have discontinued ART9 with discount, but make sure to buy from authorized dealer if you want to be able to get the new one... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? I disagree with chakster about the tri-planar arm, I think that they are beautifully designed arms that deliver world-class sound. @theo1124 It was a quote from the OP's first post, not my own opinion about Tri-Planar. Tri-Planar is definitel... | |

| MP150 or MP200 You can buy modern replacement styli for vintage cartridges that use modern synthetic rubbers that will last for decades out side. Styli back from the day are probably bad by now. Not only that but quality control was pretty poor back then. @mijo... | |
| MP150 or MP200 @uberwalts the ADC is Raul’s favorite, not mine. You gave up pretty quick. In fact the ADC Astrion that Raul liked long time ago was the worst cartridge I even heard. Now please tell me do you own or owned any of my top-10 MM that I love and use f... | |
