Cartridge Upgrade ...AT ART-9?


Hello all , I'm looking to upgrade to a better TT / cartridge and I've heard from a very reliable source that the AT ART-9 is unbeliebavly great cartridge.

I listen to mostly Classic Rock /Jazz Fusion ....I currently just have a Technics SL15 with a P205CMK3. I'd like to get something that is higher end around $1K that dramatically improves my setup. 

Anything that is with mentioning that gives the ART-9 a run in that range? Thanks!

 There is no anti-skating to adjust in a straight line tracking tonearm. So that per se should not be the problem or a cause of distortion in the left channel. What I am wondering about is whether you are having some friction in the bearing of the straight-line tonearm that is retarding its motion across the surface of the LP. This could cause distortion, possibly in one channel. 
Are B&O p-mounts compatible with the SL15 tonearm? If so, then SS would be a source as well.
