Breakdown of Turntable Performance


Over the years I've read numerous reviews of turntables, arms, platters, and plinths.  I always wondered how much these individual components contributed to the overall sound.  Here's my take:
Cartridge - 80%
Arm - 10%
Platter - 5%
Plinth - 5%
128x128jmarini2
I am running a cart that cost me $150 on a $3200 table/ arm .
Nuts right?
It's all about synergy, you just cannot make any reliable call on this type of thing.

And as a beta tester of Slaws MyMat I can attest to the veracity of his statement.
Anyone is free to pm myself for more detail about the results.
But much improved Dynamics and tightness of bass are easily audible.
For me it really opened up the upper registers.
Obviously ymmv.
Fellows, I tried finding the Slaws My Mat, and couldn't. Can you direct me on where to find them?

Thanks,
Dan

They are made by member Slaw.
Just send him a message through the Audiogon system.
Hope that helps
