Aren’t the two main transducers, speakers and cartridge, the most important?


There was a recent question about the percentage of importance of components.
It seems obvious to me that speakers and cartridges are. Are there other transducers?
IME, upgrading my speakers and cartridge were, by far, the greatest improvements.
(feel I must also mention the great improvement from Townshend Podiums as huge, not to digress)

As far as important in the ability to play back, they are the most important. The FIDELITY of the system is 75% dependent on the refinement of it’s components.

Vinyl can be wonderful. The same album in NEW condition 50 years ago vs NEW hot off the press today. There can be a night and day difference.. Somethings are just better than they use to be.. Hi, HI fidelity analog can be had... NOW..

ALL that said, the ROOM and the boundaries in that room, are still 50% of the total sound you hear.. I have a buddy that is going to Soundcoat his room top to bottom. This should be interesting.. 1000. usd for ceramic paint.

I'll come up with my own concoction... :-)
