Skeptics believe:cartridge makes a HUGE difference

I was hesitant to upgrade my tonearm and cartridge. I thought, my system (verity parsifol, MC275, and c2300 with sota tt) already sounded great. Could a new tonearm and cartridge really make a difference? Yesterday, I upgraded to a Graham 2.2 with Transfiguration Orpheous L cart. WOW! What a difference. The records I have heard 100 times are new (and better) all over again. I love this equipment that allows fans of music to unpack more of the music's beauty.

Thanks for the info. I'm in the same bowl having currently Technoarm which is also another version of RB250. Thinking about HUGE upgrade to Dynavector DV505, but still have to come up with budget. I believe that regardless of turntable and I think that mine is completely worthy (Michel Gyro SE) of such upgrade.

I follow this chain of difference higherarchy:
Turntable -- 50%
Arm -- 35%
Cartridge -- 15%

The lesson was that getting the cartridge to track correctly is far more important than what cartridge it actually is

That is BULL'S EYE!
