Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ?
“Vinyl records produced/tested with “professional” grade carts, with focus on sound accuracy”. It seems to me that would be a very limiting factor for me, acquiring a 1oK cartridge. I don’t want to just listen for the sake of listening. I’d rathe... 
Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ?
Of course, I could not afford the setup that a 10K cartridge would require, but I have a question. What type of LP would be up to the task of producing such high quality sound? It seems to me that only the highest quality audiophile discs would ju...

No subwoofers yet. But listening to the radio I realize this a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. Too much sonic detail to hear a composition as a whole. This is true especially for classical music (bigger forest) which tends to be ...
