Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance.


I’ve been a vinyl lover for a few years now and I have an ortofon black cartridge setup with an mmf 5.1 turntable with acrylic platter and speed controller. My question to all the vinyl audiophiles out there is this. How much difference does a turntable really make compared to the cartridge? Will I hear a significant difference if I upgraded my turntable and kept the same cartridge? Isn’t the cartridge 90%+ of the sound from a vinyl setup? Thank you guys in advance for an honest discussion on this topic.

I agree with chakster regarding the newer Technics.  The older Luxmans I am sure are fantastic.  My friend has an older Luxman but he cannot get it repaired anywhere locally so that is why i would not take my chances on one.  If I had skilled technicians locally that could fix it without sending it out for repair I would definitely consider one of them.
