I love my limited edition Audio-Technica ART-2000 cartridge, 1000 units made for Japanese market in year 2000 as AT reference cartridge. In my system it sounds amazing with ZYX CPP-1 headamp to MM input on my WLM Phonata reference phono stage. For the price i paid it's a top cartridge. I'm not sure which serial model was a successor of AT ART-2000 for mass market but there must be one.
