Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ?

@ghdprentice

In general, ones entire collection sounds better with better sounding cartridges.

I couldn’t agree more. To my mind – forget the audiophile reissues – that’s the best reason to climb the ladder on great cartridges.

dwette, excellent plan. Boulder is top level of SS amplification.

This is an "Oh Good Lord" type question.

I can't imagine spending close to that much on a cartridge for vinyl. But this is a hobby and some just like what they like and believe what they want to believe.

I would hope there was a meaningful difference in quality for twice the money, and at that level, particularly. But I am cynical.

"Better equipment makes everything sound better, regardless of the quality of the recordings"

-only if you know what “better” is! LOL

I am so glad I never went down this rabbit hole 🕳️ 🥕.
