What is the chain of importance in analog system ?
i seem to hear different opinions on this matter. An old audiophile chap told me that the most important is the cart, arm, table, phono stage (in that order). On the other hand, some analog guru said, that the most important is the phono stage, then the table, arm, cart. One friend, even said, all is important! I tend to agree that all is important but we don't have deep pockets to afford an all out assault on a tt system. Perhaps some people here can share their views. thanks in advance.
thanks for the input guys. So, if we are to put this in reality, maybe you guys can suggest some good combos to start with based on the theories and experiences you guys have. maybe a tt system w/ cart, table, arm, phono stage and tonearm cabling for $5000-$8,000.
Ex: Lyra Dorian-> VPI Classic with original tonearm-> modwright phono stage-> nordost tonearm cabling
Would be good to know what synergistics tables, cart, arm, phono stage would be for suggestions ? It could be anything from Michell, VPI, Rega, others on that price range.
