The amazing thing about this hobby is that , 1. we get used to and compensate for the deficiencies in our systems and 2. almost ANY change that requires significant expense or time, does end up making the system better because we WANT to make the system sound better (see number 1)....until 3) we get used to (or get irritated by) the new things the system is doing, and then 4) find some other problem we want to fix.
Given your conclusion that the component and room interaction is the most important thing, I'm amazed you had such dramatic results from tweaking the turntable/cartidge.
Of course, the source is ultimately the most important...give me a great recording over a boombox, any day, over a poor recording on a $100,000 system.
