Audio-Technica ART 7


Good day A,goners :)

I was in love with the AT OC9 III sound until I damaged it accidentally !!!!!!!!!! The needle broke off completely of the cartridge. I am looking for a replacement. 

I am wanting to stay with Audio-Technica, and looking into ART 9 and ART 7. I read the threads here and some other forums in regards to the ART 9 cart. Most likely will go for the ART 9. However, I am curious about the ART 7.

How many of you here are /were ACTUALLY using ART 7? With what phono stage and gain setting? What are the strength and limitation if you are using / used the ART 7?

I will be using it on a Project RMP 9 table with the 9cc Project arm, Simaudio Moon 310Lp phono, XLR cables (6dB additional gain) to BAT pre-amp.  

Thanks a lot for your inputs :)

You might also look into the AT-33PTG/II MC cartridge I have it on a VPI prime with the JMW 10 3D tonearm through a Parasound JC3+ preamp to an Anthem MRX520 connected to an Anthem P2 amp into Paradigm monitor 11V7 speakers, the bass response is smooth and the mids and high frequency is clear and uncluttered, I play mostly rock and classical, flutes come out so clear you can hear each breath and the low bass notes are steady and clear no muffled drones.
