So, which would sound better:
- A state of the art $10K cartridge on a $500 table/arm
- or a good $500 cartridge on a $10K table/arm?
I would probably go #2, or a $750-$1250 cartridge on a $5k table/arm.- Noting that the cartridge is somewhat of a consumable item.
So in the obligatory car analogy scenario:
- The cartridge is like the tyres.
- The arm like like the alignment and suspension all in one.
You want the table to run smoothly, and the arm to track well.After that, then one wants the cartridge to be compliant with the arm.
