Could be answered two ways for me. What I paid and MSRP.
What I paid:
Turntable & Arm: 69%
Cart: 21%
Phono Stage: 10%
But through patience and luck I have gotten some smokin' bargains on everything but the table (which rarely comes up used)
So here is the breakdown according to MSRP:
Turntable & Arm: 51%
Cart: 34%
Phono Stage: 14%
I mention both because I would probably in the abstract recommend something closer to the MSRP proportions, with likely a bit more spent on the phono stage. See my notes below for details.
Relevant notes:
1) The table & arm are one unit, a Well Tempered Amadeus
2) The cart had a broken cantilever and was rebuilt by SoundSmith, thus the good deal
3) The phono stage is a Dynavector P75 that punches well above its weight if you have a low impedance LOMC that can take the fullest advantage of its Phono Enhancer mode (which I do).
