$4000 Benz on a $200 Well Tempered turntable rebuild. I believe everything matters in audio. As such, you're obviously not going to get the best from a high dollar cartridge but you'll most likely get everything a cheap turntable has to offer.
How good does a TT have to be for a good cartridge
I have often wondered would you get good sound from a really good cartridge on a decent but not super good table. I am not an analog fanatic. I do own two fairly basic modern tables. One is a plain VPI Scout and the other a Music Hall MMF 5. Could I expect great sound from either one with a very high caliber cartridge that might cost lets say $3-5K . Is this an example of not being able to put lipstick on a pig?
