Dodgealum, the ART9 is the only $1k cartridge that sounds like a $5k cart. 
Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7
The only Harbeth which preserves some level of tonal accuracy is the P3ES. All the other bigger Harbeths add their own special flavour to it (some kind of dark thickness).Merlin is nice but you need to go to their TSM floorstander.

Get a Tannoy Sterling or ATC SCM 19, you will hear what most other speakers just cannot do even for $20k.Harbeths are for soft listening, they seriously lack bass dynamics and overall resolution. People enjoy this softer rounded presentation as mu... 
Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR
Super speakers these Tannoys are. After hearing many many speakers and owning a good number of them I found ultimate solace in a pair of Tannoy Turnberry SE. I know the Kensigtons are better but it doesnt bother me because music sounds so satisfyi...

Never heard the ART-2000 Chakster.

Build a TT based set up for $5K
Most systems suggested in this thread are great starters!My personal preference though is a Rega TT over a VPI every time. Rega gets the musical timing much better than VPI.For phonostage PS Audio GCPH is great if you get used else get a Lehmann B...

Being excited about a new item in the system is a routine affair for most audiophiles. In fact it is one of the things that keeps us going. Even a little isolation device under an amp can bring excitement into the game. But it doesnt mean that eve...

Thats good new Tablejockey! If the AT50 can supercede the ART9, we all have something to look up to.
