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%

I would say its the table, then the arm, and finally the cartridge.  The cartridge I think affects the color of the music the most, but you will not get there for some cartridges without a decent turntable and arm setup.

I have all of them. I like Aiwa PL-3000 . It can scan any track in any order. Very rare turntable.
