Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
Definitely not the same cart on the 8 vs 3. I asked what would it sound like if they were swapped. They guy said that a 'better' cart (referring to whatever was on the RP8) would highlight the shortcomings of the RP3. To me, this translated to 'why would you want to put a set of $10k interconnects on the RP3' type of logic. Sure I get it, but I wasn't convinced that the RP3 would sound 'worse' with the RP8 cart :)
Anyway, maybe I'm getting a little too specific -- sounds like an RP3 w/ an upgraded cart would sound pretty darn good.
@Royaloak: No not from Quebec, but close to RoyalOak, Mi :)
