Maybe you should hang a $1000 cart on your mega buck arm

I remember when VPI 1st demonstrated their 3D printed arm. They put a cheap Grado on one next to a $4000 cart, and left several reviewers unable to justify the more expensive spread.

I can't afford more than $1000 on a consumable like a cart. So I invested in a Prime to get that 3D arm. I've heard it with a Quintet Black, a Cadenza Red and a DV 20 with a Soundsmith Ruby Re-tip. I got the best sound out of a cart many have never heard of, the Charisma MC1. I'll be re-tipping it until the cows come home. I don't feel the need to spend more.

I listened to a Magico system where the cables cost more than my entire rig, and found it only sounded marginally better than mine. the high end of the high endis just insane.
