Art - no brainer, IMO.

Having had an ML, and sold it, I would go ART 9, but I prefer the AT house sound.

You need to try and hear both to see which you prefer. Cartridges are a personal choice. One man's meat is another man's poison, and all that...

Steve, Something you might want to consider is the ART is reportedly a tricky set up, https://www.audioasylum.com/audio/vinyl/messages/115/1159507.html (https://www.audioasylum.com/audio/vinyl/messages/115/1159507.html), the ML I tried was very good and easy to setup.

Surely the most useful input would be from those who have experience of both? Otherwise it's just a voting contest

Not unless they've used them with the same deck, tonearm and phono stage as the OP. There are too many variables but having heard both, I feel the Art is much better in outright quality.

According to the AT website the ART 9 is discontinued and is replaced by the AT-ART9XI, which for ease of mounting has threaded mounts. Price is increased from £900 to £1,299.99. That's quite a hike for a couple of threads which the original should have had to start with. ;)

I prefer my ML over my AT-OC9XSH.

Not heard the ML but am currently using the Hana SL in preference to my AT33EV, the Hana is quite an improvement! In every way.

So Steve, what did you decide, did you try a Hana out from Ammonite Acoustics?
