Cartridges


Is it better to upgrade to an ultra premium cartridge or to buy the premium records such as hot stampers and the like?

I would say great pressings are always best, but I personally wont pay the 4 digits some command. Meanwhile good cart but maybe not ’ultra premium’. What this means varies among people. Strictly based on cost I would think ultra premium is over $9k. Is that what you had in mind?

What cartridge have you got and what cartridge are you thinking about? Premium quality records are always to be sought but in neither case ( cartridge or LP) does cost necessarily correlate with performance. I am not a believer in hot stampers, so far as that goes.
