Breakdown of Turntable Performance


Over the years I've read numerous reviews of turntables, arms, platters, and plinths.  I always wondered how much these individual components contributed to the overall sound.  Here's my take:
Cartridge - 80%
Arm - 10%
Platter - 5%
Plinth - 5%

For what it's worth, I recently had a $385 cartridge sound much better than a $1200  one that I have. With the turntables I have had, the arm and platter bearing made the biggest differences. YMMV.
