Does it make sense to run a 3k cartridge on a 2k table?

Jperry.

A very valid point as to tonearm.

Is the standard Spacearm good enough to support a multi thousand dollar cartridge?

I truly do not know, what I do know as that I have stepped up in value of carts I have been impressed at every stage. I have only bought carts that are a theoretical good match with arm according to VinylEngine calculator.

Running a Lyra Dorian and/or a Scheu Analog MC right now.

Tbh I have not even checked if the Kiseki Purple Heart is a good match it was just a good example to use for thread purpose and is at least on,my consideration list.

Of course it is a question and a good one I thought to see what others do and their thoughts
No I will not be returning a cart as I have not bought one of that caliber yet, hence this thread just to see what others do...…...

And these are the thoughts I was inviting.

Who spends what on carts vs table price.

I am thinking that once you have a certain level of table then as long as arm and phono are up to the task then why not spend more on a cart?

That's kind of what I was thinking myself Tbh.

I am pretty sure the Spacedeck is my keeper.

Running standard Spacearm on it and using a Walker speed controller.

My thought process was along the lines that I was mote likely to hear a decent sq increase with a more upmarket cart than changing out the table.

Always nice to know I am only slightly crazy and in good company.

Present phono is Goldnote ph10 which is very flexible.
