Anyone out there have a reputable guy who knows the nuances of carts in the $2000+ range? So many opinions.....

current set up

VPI Super Prime Scot / 10.5 arm

Hana ML

Harbeth 40.3XD

What's going to drastically improve my sound / detail....mostly listen to Hard Rock, Zeppelin etc....

Thanks!

The difference I think is in the arm construction/thickness. Some folks just don't get the uni-pivot.
