AT ART9 nice but too thick. What a peculiar yet very interesting comment as it has been considered pretty much as perfect MC on various forums so far ! Save money and buy a vintage MM like SHURE ULTRA 400, AT-ML170/OCC, Acutex M320 STRIII (the best of Acutex truly) to name just a few, actually you can get several for the price of a new (MM) cartridge. Good luck...
Cartridge Suggestion Requested
Thanks in advance for all suggestions. I have (3) cartridges in rotation and all of them have issues, I would like to know if it is possible to find a cartridge that has the sound I am looking for.
Basically the tone and uncolored neutrality of the Ortofon 2M black yet in a more dynamic cleaner sounding presentation.
I really like the 2M black but it has some dirt and edge to the upper treble.
I also have the AT ART9 and it is nice but too thick for my tastes. Lastly the Dynavector DV20X2L, has a smooth dynamic sound but lacks the transparency and uncolored midrange that I prefer.
