If your arm leans toward medium-low mass the ART 9 is very hard to beat at that price. Maybe the one component I most regret selling.
Phono Cartridge for $1,000.
Currently have Clearaudio Virtuoso MM cartridge . Wanting to go to MC. Found a Hana ML and a Sumiko Blackbird on sale for $1000. I am using a Musical Fidelity M6 phonostage so it will handle all. Is it worth it to change? If so, which one? I live in the sticks in Alabama so listening is almost impossible.
