70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve?


I have 3.000 LP, most of it 70’s prog rock. Some of them are “audiophile” pressings (Classic Records... etc). But just a few.

Is it worth it a expensive capsule/phonopreamp for that kind of recordings? 

I know that classical music, or jazz masterings were masterworks in their times, and deserves the best capsule/preamp you can buy.

But I dont’t know if Genesis, PF, King Crimson, Magma... 70’s pressings would get much better with a super capsule or it’s better to invest in other parts of the chain to achieve the best sound.

Thanks! Be safe!

My vinyl collection is the same era of music and style as yours and the better the table, arm cartridge and phono stage, the better sound you will get.  I started off with an inexpensive Rega Planar 3 with a Linn K9 MM cartridge and moved up a few times and every time I got better and better sound.  It all boils down to how much you are willing to invest.
