No, not bad at all, Dcarol. You like how your system sounds and that is all that matters, for you.
The rest of us must take your descriptions, filter that through our own experiences, and try to come to an understanding of what you meant. Case in point, my questions to Mike on this thread about his take on how those cartridges compare sound-wise. ALL components in this game add color, no exceptions, but some are more colored than others, or they don't resolve things in the music as well or not at all. Some veil other components in the chain.
Prices don't usually indicate anything.
