The 500 $ Cartridge is on a 10k $ Turntable / arm combination will sound better than the expensive cartridge on a wobbly basis. what will sound even better is a balanced system 50% turntable /tonearm, 25% cartridge and 25% phono preamplifier. ... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... Chakster mentioned the Luxman PD444, it is a great looking TT, If I had known about it when I bought my JVC Victor, I might have preferred it.

| Stanton T62 Turntable It’s not even for DJing as you might think, because the choice of professional (vinyl) DJs is always Technics SL1200 mk2 and higher. Stanton is just a cheap toy for amateurs who can’t afford Technics, normally teenagers pretending to be a DJs. Af... | |
