How does it sound? way better than any $300 cartridge has the right to sound. Loving spinning this with my MONO lp's. Its clear, concise and musical - more neutral than cosy warm. the Stones - Let it Bleed is sounding great atm - bass kicks as well.

I'm quite intrigued by this cart Paul, thanks for sharing.

Mono rocks only with mono [emoji3].

That's great news Shane, thanks for sharing. Looks like a well built cartridge especially for the money. Is this a conical stylus profile?

edit: found the specs on the AT site: Elliptical stylus chip and hard duralumin cantilever
 
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

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.
 
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.
 
Denon DL-S1. pulled this out of the cartridge draw. Legendary top of range Denon cartridge for a long time - now discontinued. If you have a phono stage that can handle the 0.15mv, it's hard to find a more detailed cartridge presented in a slightly laid back manner - for under 1k - absolute bargin.

Those are some great carts. Any favourites?
 
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?
