Wow! He covered everything! A REALLY important consideration is Cartridge Compliance and the Tonearm choice that MC mentioned above. A rigid arm requires a compliant cartridge! Much more than 10. The more the better if using a stiff arm! And Vice-versa with a compliant arm. An MC cartridge won’t do that without spending a million $. They do cost more for a reason. They sound better, whether choosing MC or MM/MI.
You can join vinylengine.com and see a graph that compares compliance of the cartridge and the rigidity of the arm, together. Additionally there is a really elaborate [sic. accurate] calculation that will help you calculate it more accurately than that graph, somewhere on the Internet.
Again, listen to what Mr Lederman has to say!
