Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge

 I own five turntables. Among them are direct drives that are considered the top of the vintage Japanese turntables including an SP 10 mark 3 and a Kenwood L07D. I also own a highly modified version of the Lenco. It is not the PTP direct product, but it uses the steel top plate made by Peter Reinders  originally. This is mounted on a 70 pound slate plinth. I also have an aftermarket $800 bearing on my Lenco, replacing the original bearing. The platter has been painted with a special damping material. And it is further damped by the use of heavy duty O-rings around the circumference. The motor is controlled by a phoenix engineering eagle power supply with a phoenix engineering road runner tachometer. So I can document that the speed is precisely 33.33 RPM. I would put this rig up against any of my other rigs. It certainly is worthy of the ancillary equipment that you mention. I don’t know what else to say. 

Hi pani,
I have stacked original platter. Ppt audio don't sell the stainless steel platter alone.
I agree with lewm view.

To lewm,
Can you describe the gain you get with the Phoenix power supply?
Thanks

No, you need at least a 20.000 $$$ cartridge , same number of children who starve to death  each and every day .

I have a modest car that I bought new as I am not interested in cars but I have put more money in my hifi.

Hard to describe precisely the improvement with Phoenix stuff, because I went from the Walker Audio Motor Controller, which is already pretty good but has no feedback mechanism to control or monitor speed, to Phoenix.  I'd say it improves SQ to some degree over the Walker.  Not mind-blowing.  The Walker was way superior to nothing.
