Should I consider a cartridge upgrade?
How "much" cartridge is too much?
Hi All,
I currently am very happy with my VPI Scoutmaster/JMW9/Soundsmith Paua/edensound Terracone footers/Edensound Terrastone platforms for TT and separate for motor/edensound brass damping weights for motor and plinth/Transparent Reference MM2 phono/Herron VTPH-2 analog setup.
I have another year or more before I need my Paua retipped.
I am wondering how much higher I can go with cartridge price/performance with this setup and still reap the benefits of the cartridge? I used a Zephyr Mk II before that, which I love; I did notice a significant improvement going to the Paua.
I know some will suggest just buying a different TT, but this was my late father's table, and I would like to stick with it.
By the way, the current setup sounds awesome, so I will be fine with retipping my Paua and sticking with it if that seems best.
Thanks for your thoughts!
