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%

Thanks,

@chayro said it well, but I would be more emphatic. I tried it like the OP said, and burned mucho $ before I realized that cartridges wear out. TT not so much.

And how the **** is a $100 No-name Garbage tonearm going to hold a $5K Koetsu in precise relation to the record surface? Especially when that record surface is vibrating all over the place because of the No-name Garbage platter turning on a $.05 bearing? Powered by a lawnmower motor?

I've obtained great results by isolating all 5 major components from each other. The controller, motor, flywheel, turntable, & arm pedestal, are all on there own platforms. Isolation & quality parts are key. BTW I can attest to Slaw's MyMat being well worth the investment. It is the best I've had on my table.
