| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... Thanks to the OP's (and Raul's) guidance on another thread, I just this minute ordered a new ART9XA. It is destined for my SME V, which is being overhauled by Alfred Kayser in Canada, including a single Cardas lead from cartridge to preamp. Just... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well Rok & MJ, it ain't Croatia, but at least it's close.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhqQFs7huwU | |
| Jazz for aficionados Flew into Tegel a dozen times 12-13 years ago. Very handy to the City. So much history there - fascinating place. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Nightmare" is amazing but helps me understand why my mom, born in 1916, didn't like Artie Shaw. Too much stark reality for her. Life in the 30s and 40s was a combination of fear and joy, and she preferred the latter. Artie did plenty of sweet ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Thanks keeg"Appreciate that MJ, but it's scary similar to "geek." Let's stick with "keegiam" if you don't mind. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @schubert This kid grooves, and I can't help but notice his first name is Yohan.This isn't the first time I've been stunned by a prodigy, so I plan to start a new thread on the subject. Why not? | |
| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance Avanti, endless thanks, your research solves my misunderstanding. The truth is that I should have been able to track this down on my own, but the subject can be daunting.Now I know that the XA's compliance is actually in the 15-20 range when usin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3 - very, very nice. Led me to this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqw384a05Xs | |
| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance What's the best way to increase the effective mass of the SME V if I select the AT-ART9XA? The XA's dynamic compliance is only 10, and it weighs 8.5 oz. Without increasing the SME's effective mass (10-11g depending on hardware), the resonant fre... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, all of those Getz tunes are great, but "Bronx Blues" really does it for me. So sweet. | |

| Jazz for aficionados So cool. I posted Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments" before I went back and played all your great links this evening. Imagine my surprise to find it was the prominent title today. How does this stuff happen?Mary Jo, that Lovano is gorgeous, thank... | |
| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance It's an easy swap of two resistors on an old school board. The manual has a detailed list of resistors for fine tuning the output in 2db increments, so I could choose +63, +65, +67, etc (up to +75!). Pretty dang thoughtful of Classe.Truthfully I... | |
| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance Avanti, lots of praise on Audiogon for the XA. The SME V is higher mass than your arm (10-11g) and, unless I swap out a couple resistors in my Classe Six, the gain would only be 57db. As you mentioned back in August, the XI would probably work b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary Jo, your Duke piece has been viewed almost 12M times in 13 years. Reassuring, ain't it? |
