Re: Top Tier Cartridges, Sleepers and Amazing Values
Cartridges.
It depends on lot on the arm that is being used. I used to own a Lyra Dorian when it was worn out I bough a 2nd hand Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua. For my next cart I would really like a van den Hul the Crimson. But I'm afraid I'll never can own one. Mr van den Hul is getting really old. When he dies a lot of knowledge will get lost. He is one of the very few "old masters" still alive.
But Ikeda, Koetsu, ZYX and many more also have great carts.Pre amp: Ocatve Phono Module Power amps: Octave MRE130 Turntable: SAC Girati Grande.

Re: Top Tier Cartridges, Sleepers and Amazing Values
I have readed the post about Audiogon.
I'm agree with this in the post :
"Its everything I liked about the OC9-mk III, but it goes far beyond the OC-9 in every respect".
I have bought this AT-OC9 ML III (if I can't found my post on this forum).
I have 2 AT-ART9 now. One for my VPI Classic 3(1 year for my cartridge) and one for my Technics SL-1210 MK II(1 month for the cartridge and perhaps 30 year's old for my SL-1210 MK II).
But I think ART9 is more neutral than OC9 ML III.
OC9 ML III : more medium ( I would say more medium for voices)
ART 9 : better than OC9 ML III in treble, bass, extrem treble and extrem bass...
And the sound about the two turntables ?
I prefer listen electronic music with my Technics like Kygo or Jean-Michel Jarre...
Cables, you can see is Van Den Hul.
I prefer listen Jazz, OST, Pop, Rnb, Disco with my VPI.
I can say if this ART9 is better than cartridge over 5000$...
In France, price paid is : 1100 Euros including Taxes (20%) so, perhaps the same price in the USA ? 930 $ with taxes ?
With the ART 9, I have a tri-dimensional sound.Marantz SA7S1/GRIMM AUDIO CC1/MARK LEVINSON 360S+TECHNICS SL1210 MKII/ORTOFON X1-MC/VPI CLASSIC 3 in rosewood/Audio-Technica ART-9/ESOTERIC E03+TAG MC LAREN T32R+JEFF ROWLAND CORUS+JEFF ROWLAND MODEL 625+Magnepan 3.7i+Cables line: all Furutech lineflux+power cord DIY

Re: Top Tier Cartridges, Sleepers and Amazing Values
Hi, would anyone please identify this cartridge for me? I bought it years ago, when I was listening to my vinyls, but my hearing is poor now. I'd love to sell it if I can. I believe it is a moving coil. I had a Linn, but it's long gone and this was in a drawer for a long time. Thanks,
peace, Richard

Re: Top Tier Cartridges, Sleepers and Amazing Values
Richard - Welcome to AudioShark! To help you identify the cartridge we need a more detailed description and hopefully pictures of it. Glad to try to be of assistance. As a general rule cartridge suspensions age even if they have low running hours but are many years old, so its value may be impacted if it requires a rebuild.

Re: Top Tier Cartridges, Sleepers and Amazing Values
ART-9 is one of those very rare cartridges which can stop you from looking further and that even on a healthy $30-40k analog front end.

Re: Top Tier Cartridges, Sleepers and Amazing Values
I have an Empire Troubadour II turntable that needs a new cartridge. I have it paired with an Onkyo 8555 receiver and a Martin Logan 15 bookshelf speakers. Any suggestions for a new cartridge, (MM), for $100 - $300?
