| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? @lewm actually i loved my ART-2000 so much and it was one of the best MC for the money ($600-700 about 6 years ago), i only sold it because i was thinking that for $3500 and $4500 i will get even more satisfaction, i expected another level of perf... | |
| Anyone ever buy from this site? Agent @nandric in Netherlands, what do you think ? Alaska need help | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? @uberwalts I would have said the art7 was a worthy alternative to the art9. The 20Sla not so much...... Maybe, who knows. For me an alternative is something different, not just the same house sound of the recent AT LOMC which i am quiet familiar... | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? @slaw Does your post imply lpgear is selling non-authentic cartridges? My point was just about the styli they are selling for an old discontinued vintage AT Moving Magnet cartridges from the 70's, such as AT20SLa, those styli does not have a gold... | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? ChakThose pictures were of the 20Sla, not the art7 which we were discussing?What is the relevance? Good point, but we’re discussing ART-9 in general and alternatives, not the ART-7 as you may think, LOL BTW i think the great alternative for the OP... | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge Yeah, i remember it was hard to resist not to buy Dynavector DV30A, it was the next one after Ultima, headshell integrated, proper design from 1978, my version was High Output. Your "C" has better cantilever and stylus. Good luck | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? @slaw With the only difference that LPGear’s stylus as always was blank without Audio-Technica logo and without stamped model number on it. Looks different compared to the original. This is for example the original and cartridge body. | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge Strange, in my opinion Grace are high resolution cartridges, i can only judge their MC by the reference Asakura's Two (latest signature model of the Grace owner). Since the internal impedance of all Grace MC is high 23 Ohm - 47 Ohm (depends on the... | |
| Is the MoFI UltraDeck wit the MasterTracker cart the best TT solution @ $2,499? Of course it is not the "best solution" at $2500 This is the price for a used coreless direct drive Technics 1200G released not so long ago, the GR version is even cheaper. You can even spend your $2500 much better if you don't mind to buy some vi... | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? @slimpikins5 If you like Whest so much you can easily find what he’s using on his instagram. The world of amazing Audio-Technica MM cartridges is a bit wider than AT20ss and AT20 series in general, as you know my personal favorite is AT-ML180 OCC ... | |
| Tube Mono block recommendation. Instead of the tube gear, you can read about First Watt and their amps like SIT-1 (monoblocks) designed by Nelson Pass. You may add tube preamp if you need tubes, but his power amps are all different and tube lovers adore them, these amps are unique! | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? In my own experience moving from limited edition $700 AT ART-2000 to another $3-4000 cartridge wan NOT positive and does not improved the sound as much as i expected according to the price i paid. Higher price does not guarantee the improvement an... | |
| Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9? You should ask our man @pani | |
| Phono cartridge suggestions sought Maybe it is not just about math and resonance in theory, the low compliance cartridge just better on superheavy tonearms, they are designed for superheavy tonearms, change the arm to something with 20-30g effective mass and your Denon will be bett... | |
| Phonostage Recommendations for my PS Audio + Thiel setup MoFi Ultradeck w/mastertracker cart (MM) and Thiel 3.7 speakers............ ..... phono stage at about $2500 so that would be the absolute max I would be willing to spend. Hello, what other member ignored in their recommendations is that you're... |
