I would say great pressings are always best, but I personally wont pay the 4 digits some command. Meanwhile good cart but maybe not ’ultra premium’. What this means varies among people. Strictly based on cost I would think ultra premium is over $9k. Is that what you had in mind?
What cartridge have you got and what cartridge are you thinking about? Premium quality records are always to be sought but in neither case ( cartridge or LP) does cost necessarily correlate with performance. I am not a believer in hot stampers, so far as that goes.
Solypsa I have a Transfiguration Axia now and yes, thinking about going to a top end Grado Epoch 3 or maybe something a little less. I know the Grado is a MI and not MC like the Axia but, have ready stellar reviews.
