I ran the Dyna XXIIMKII for a while and now have the ART 9. Though the AT did not replace the Dyna so I did not have the opportunity to compare head-to-head my sense is that the ART 9 is pretty darn better across the board. For $1K it is an unbelievably good cartridge.
Cart Recommendations
I have a VPI TNT Mk II with a Graham 1.5 arm. I'm looking for a new LOMC cart for my setup and hoping to get some recommendations from those with experience with my table/arm combo. Phono preamp is an Allnic H-3000 paired with an HA-3000 headamp which is the reason for the need of a LOMC. Currently, I am running a Dynavector XX2 Mk II. I am looking for something that is rich, dynamic and detailed without being overly analytical. Any suggestions?
