    I have the ART-9 and it is a superb cartridge the best I have ever owned, however it has one of the smallest stylus on a cartridge that I have owned or seen, and being a special line contact type stylus I believe it sits deeper in the groove of the vinyl than most other styluses, The only problem I found with that is that I find it is not too forgiving on worn, dirty or lightly scratched vinyl, it really needs pristine vinyl to play on, and then it comes into its own, so unless your vinyl is of pristine condition I would not spend so much on a cartridge.

    I'd agree the Art9 does tend to dig a little deeper and the stylus is incredibly slim, but i've found a decent RCM sorts out your dirty vinyl leaving it in good enough condition that the cartridge is happy

    Thanks to John for pointing it out, I have a low hours XX2 Mk II on it’s way to me.



    It works out cheaper than the ML, and I know I like it.

    I'm sure it will sound excellent Kevin.
    I bought a very low hours Dynavecta Karat Ruby that has a microline stylus and it's superb
    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
