Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance.
I’ve been a vinyl lover for a few years now and I have an ortofon black cartridge setup with an mmf 5.1 turntable with acrylic platter and speed controller. My question to all the vinyl audiophiles out there is this. How much difference does a turntable really make compared to the cartridge? Will I hear a significant difference if I upgraded my turntable and kept the same cartridge? Isn’t the cartridge 90%+ of the sound from a vinyl setup? Thank you guys in advance for an honest discussion on this topic.

Your point is? danvignau513 posts08-21-2020 11:56amCalculate how much your phono stage, head amp stage, arm, table, isolasters, and cartridge, etc. cost. When you spend that on a CD player, your opinion matters. For a good comparison, check our Sheffield's D to D LP's and the CD's of the recording sessionsthat followed years later. I have Thelma Houston, Pressure Cooker. I am not a fan of the music, but the comparison is worth the price of admission. |
