<> $1K can get one an incredible cartridge but it certainly will not represent the best that is available.
That's simply your opinion. My opinion is the opposite.
> I do however find it silly that one discounts the megabuck cartridges when they have not actually listened to such cartridges.
I've listened to many mega-buck cartridges and I've owned two. If you're suggesting that I have to listen to every single mega-buck cartridge in the world to form a valid opinion, then your opinion holds no more validity than mine. In fact, it's even more silly of you to discount lower priced cartridges since they are vastly more accessible to more audiophiles than mega-buck cartridges.
In my opinion, if you've never actually measured frequency response, crosstalk response, harmonic distortion and intermodulation of any mega-buck cartridge and compared it to your own measurements of any lower priced cartridges, you have no business talking about the performance of any phono cartridge. But, that's just my opinion.
Oh, well. To each his own! Such is life! YMMV
