RE: Inexpensive TT

You have to remember that, alignment issues notwithstanding, cartridges sound different in every system because of the mechanical and electrical interactions and components so cost is no indicator of the pleasure you may or may not get when installed in your system.
Written responses are always subject to interpretation of the "tone". I don't know what cartridge you were eyeing up, but it is possible that they were actually trying to be helpful in suggesting that (for whatever assumptions they make about the rest of your system), that the money you spend wouldn't yield the full performance capability.
However, you are at liberty to spend whatever you feel is necessary on your cartridge. It doesn't matter how much the deck COST it is how well engineered it is and whether enough of the fundamentals are good enough to allow the cartridge to perform at its best. They may well feel that the cartridge of a certain price would be a "waste" in a given turntable/arm configuration and were just blunt.
