Yes, a better component will make your entire system shine. I think a good cartridge is indispensable to enjoying vinyl playback. Doesn't mean you can't have lots of fun with a less expensive cartridge though, but it could reach it's limits -- type of music, type of listening sessions, for instance.I got quite confortable with a $550 cartridge, except that cartridge is now $1000! It will come down to that you could profitably use the extra money to upgrade another area of your system.
Just my opinion (recently upgraded my line-level preamp and I can't believe how much I was missing)!
