What table did you decide on, that will help with the cartridge choice. Also what arm? There is synergy in some combos that is seeming lacking in others. The table is your foundation, the arm/cartridge is next. At least as I look at it.
Is this Foolish?
OK, as I have stated in earlier threads, I am fairly new to vinyl. I am now converted to the virtues of vinyl, and I am contemplating my next tt and cartridge purchase. I have the other elements of my system in place (Manley 300B amps, Manley Steelhead, Zu Essence speakers).
I have solicited advice on best tt combo for $XX before, but I was thinking that since a cart will last for a few years, maybe I should ask for recommendation for a cartridge first and then try to purchase the table to match the cartridge and the rest of my system for maximum synergy.
Am I foolish to think this way? Recommendations on cartridges? Budget for cart is up to $1500 (plus or minus a little). Listening tastes vary, but current system emphasis is on tone, dynamics, and "live performance" flow rather than absolute accuracy.
Thanks
