RE: Yet (sigh) another post for cartridge recommendations

I use low-output moving coils exclusively and I believe that Audio Technica makes the best moving coils today. I have the Audio Technica ART7 mounted in my SME V and it sounds spectacular. However, if I were buying a new cartridge today, I would buy the Audio Technica ART9XA, which sells for $1290. It has 0.2-mV rated output, but if you need slightly higher output, the Audio Technica ART9XI has 0.5-mV rated output and costs the same.

If you want the cartridge that I consider to be the best in the world, buy the Audio Technica ART1000, which costs $5000.

Good luck,
John Elison
