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.
