| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @wrxified, I also had a AT33/PTG for some time and that piqued my interest into AT line up but I did not find it to be the last word in detail, dynamics and resolution. I mean it could be my second cart instead of the DL-103r but not my first cart... | |
| Phono cable recommendations - high performance good value cable I also use the ART-9 cartridge. Check out stereolux finewire c37 tonearm cable by Heiko Wingender. His tonearm cables is used by some tonearm manufacturers like Reed, Durand and Thomas Schick for the internal wiring of their tonearms. I have used ... | |
| AudioTechnica ART 9 users - break in, VTF/VTA and loading questions VTF - 1.77 gramsVTA - just slightly tail up loading - 120 ohms to 150 ohms. 100 ohms sounded a bit too thick in my setup1000 ohms is super high, try a lower setting. I use jensen SUT with 1:12 step up into a 37db MM phonostage and the gain is great. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @tablejockey I do not want to derail the ART-9 train but it will be interesting to understand which turntables would be considered "Uber" from the ART-9 perspective ?Any good $5k turntable should be able to differentiate between a $1k ART9 and say... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @lewm are you planning to use an SUT with the ART7 ? | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @jollytinker many thanks for taking that effort even though many would have considered this to be a non-starter (looking at the price difference).I have not heard those highest grade ZYX carts. 4D is the highest ZYX I have heard it was one of the ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Having lived with the 9 for over a year now, I'm really wondering at what cost will a worthwhile improvement come at?That is the whole point. The ART9 is not the ultimate cart but it is at a level where you are surfing in the upper echelons of wha... | |
| Looking for suggestions on a used amp or new. $2000/ budget Get the new Quad Elite QSP or QMP amps. They compete favourably with amps costing $20k+ | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Between Technics SP10 Mk2 and GT-2000, which one is more transparent and higher resolution ? | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I personally have had Van Den Hul Condor, Lyra Skala, Benz Micro Ebony TR and Miyabi standard/47 before the ART-9. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @jollytinker I agree that the ZYX carts especially Airy3 and above have a special 3D halo effect which is quite special. I dont find it studio neutral though. It will be interesting when you go back and forth between the ART-9 and ZYX. Please do p... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @sbank @oregonpapa I have absolutely no doubt about the rising top end of the Lyra and vdh cartridges. I have not heard the Atlas and Titan though. On the other hand the Dynavectors are smooth. Benz to my ears are "voiced" to sound comfortable. I ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @j_damon thats a very nice system you have. I am sure the ART-9 will play very well. Keep us updated on how it breaks-in. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... That's great news @j_damon. Which turntable and tonearm do you use ? @avanti1960 please consider ARC phonostages too for the ART-9. I totally forgot about it. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @avanti1960 without knowing your budget I will just suggest the phono stages that I like a lot in the mid-budget range. 1. Naim Stageline (current model) with Hicap PSU2. Pro-ject phono box RS with its battery PSU3. Graham Slee Revelation4. Pliniu... |
