Recommended a highly resolving cartridge

Dear @newton_john    : " 

Although it is branded as Linn, it is a Lyra made cartridge. "

Well, as Lyra cartridges and Linn/ Audioquest the cartridges were manufactured by Scan-Tech and designed by Lyra.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Dear @theophile   : I imagine that you don't use any more the 5000 A. I think that as a vintage unit Luxman made a great work with.

I have never even plugged it into the mains. Let alone listened to it Raul. The Hornshoppe The Truth is much more to my system philosophy. Less is more.

You might wonder why I bought the Luxman C-5000A. I had always aspired to own one and one showed up at the right price in Japan. I will use it one day. I have retired and have a lot more spare time so there are a few gems I’ve acquired over the years which will eventually get rotated into the system.

I fried my aftermarket power supply for the GT 2000/X a while back but bought some better replacements, one for each GT I’ve got and have the system back up and running. The ART20 cartridge has transformed this system and I don’t feel like changing anything as we stand.

@theophile  : Normally less is more and I agree with.

I owned your Luxman and was very good its LOMC transformers are made with silver wire. Yes has several options but was a good design.

Today Sims Audio is excellent electronics that makes your ART20 really show up its high quality performance, obviously that your TTs honor that cartridge.

IMHO @fastricky ( Yes, I already listen your tube stage. Certainly not for me. ) system can't approach your system quality performance with the ART20..

" and I don’t feel like changing anything as we stand. ". Good for you because says you are not only satisfied but in true enjoying MUSIC listening sessions. Congratulations.

theophile is not easy to achieve, like you, true MUSIC enjoy in our room/system.
