I have read a lot of what has been written here, the Tsar as mounted up on my massive gimbaled 3D arm on the Avenger Direct Drive is as good if not better than the Atlas and the Ortofon A95, which means it is as good as it gets with even more life than either of them.
You could pick some items from all three that you love the most but overall the Tsar is state of the art in phono. I have an Ampex ATR-102 running 1/2 track masters and this is as good as it gets on vinyl. If you have a disc with the hole in the center, a massive yet damped arm, the system warmed up, and your speakers broken, in this combo will put Gary Karr and his 400 year old contra-bass in the room. I am stunned!!!
As close to master tape as I have ever heard.
