CES 2018

Because Art Dudley is writing a Follow-Up review to Michael Fremer's take on the Audio Technica AT-ART1000 direct-power stereo MC phono cartridge ($4999), I shall replace lots of words with this blow-up of a cartridge whose coils sit at the tip of the cantilever, right over its diamond stylus. I'd love to tell you how it sounded, but by the time I took my photo of this system, which included components from VPI, Sonus Faber, Jeff Rowland Design Group, Grand Prix Audio, Audience, and Gik Acoustics, it was 6:01.
