Lolo, I'll follow on from caterham's motto. My personal view (after some 20-odd analogue yrs) is that a good, well set-up & supported TT deck with a modest cartridge will invariably outperform a modest, poorly set up & supported platter with a mega$ cartridge. Worse, the latter could damage that cartridge if the arm's tracking ability is lacking...
The better the deck, the more the choice in cartridges you can use -- for as long as cartridges are still available.
Cheers!
