I Have always been a fan of audio Tec.. good value moving coils not the be and end all
but good all-round value carts i have listened to many carts over the last 35 years as i am sure you all have.. but i must admit the new Art 9 has really won me over so much so it will replace my reference Benz gull-wing I even compared it to the VDH Frog an aquired taste .. and again superior in every department.. this is only my personal opinion but anybody looking for something v special in the sub 2k market i think this represents an amassing bargain and if you have a local dealer with one on dem you really should give it a listen.. i have now spent the last 4 weeks assessing several of their new carts and 2 more outstanding among the range is the Budget coil AT-F2 i normaly steer clear of budget MC's in favour of a good magnet and the long established OC-9 III... food for though have a good weekend all Art 9 in action
