I started at warming up gear, realizing changes, hearing differences, buying $200 cartridges, etc...when I was 15 years old (in the late 70’s). So, change anything? Probably nothing.
Oh yes, age 15, bought the Shure M97HE cartridge. First in a long a long run of expense problems, one might say. (today they would call that a ’line contact’ stylus profile, at 0.2x15 mil)
Run of the mill pioneer stuff, with a Technics direct drive table. But I could sure as heck hear the difference that stylus was making with records....
Then it spun out of control.
