prioritizeing effort
Posted by mnawaz3@aol.com on December 30, 2016 at 15:17:54:
Audio priorities...in my experience...order of energy expenditure (not cost)
1. Speakers. 50%
2. Preamp 25%...note ..amp is more important. .but preamp is much harder to get right
3. Amp 10%
4. Turntable 7%
5. Step up 6%..much more important than Mc cartridge
6. Tonearm 3%
7. Cartridge 1%
So in my experience. .cartridge and tonearm.expenses re only done after everything else is right.
In my exp..not wise to put to energy in a cartridge unless rest of system is estabkished. ....In my experience. .I have go great sound with $25 cartrjdges.....
