Audio Technica OC-9 Phono Cartridge

I run mine on a Michell TecnoArm A tonearm. Recently I played a warped second-hand record with this setup - the most badly warped record I've ever tried to play. The OC9/Michell stuck to it like glue and the sound was in no way compromised, although it almost made me sea-sick to watch it. I've since de-warped the record using the plate glass sandwich in a cool oven method, but there really was no need to do so. No other cartridge I've ever owned, mm or mc, would have tracked this record.

The rest of your critique is accurate. I listen to classical music exclusively - large scale symphonic and operatic in the main - and the OC9 excels in this repertoire.
