Raul, Thom, etc. I've been asking around about the above question and so far it's straight down the middle with good arguements on both sides. Is it true that one must have a really superior table to bring out all the virtues of a great cartridge? Is a $4.5k table and a $4.5k cartridge a poor match? BTW, I have the Tri-Planar VII arm.
Motor & Bearing or Cartridge upgrade?
Hi guys - If both upgrades cost the same bucks, which do you think will provide the greater sonic improvement?
1) Upgrading an Avid Volvare to a Sequel with a new outboard motor and bearing. Please consider ANY motor improvement. Lower noise floor and improved PRAT, or,
2) Upgrading from a Lyra Helicon to a Titan with all the great stuff a Titan will add.
I'm leaning to a cartridge upgrade. What do you think? Thanks. Richard
