TT cartridge question

Sometime,probably about 1989, I acquired a new Sonagraphe SG-3 turntable, with a Sumiko MMT tonearm and a Shure V-15 cartridge(?). I have since upgraded the cartridge, first to an Ortophon Kontrapunt A or B and then to a Sumiko Celebration. With a Dynavector XL-20 in between. At this point to keep up upgrading the cartridge without either doing the tonearm or turntable is foolish. BUT I have enjoyed and benefited from each upgrade.
The whole vinyl assembly in 1989 was about $600 the Sumiko Celebration was about $1600. Works for me.

Only if the cart has its own Visa ;~)

Turntable and arm are far more important than the cartridge.

A great table/tonearm and average cartridge will outperform an average table/tonearm and great cartridge all day long.
