Now I understand, you're dampening the T shaped subchassis, not the actual suspension springs. $5K for a cartridge, it just isn't worth it.The point of diminishing returns has been reached. No one will convince me otherwise. a really good 300 dollar cart is 90% of a 1000 dollar cart. The 1000 dollar cart is no doubt 90% of the 5000 dollar one and so on. On top of that, you'll need a fortune in associated equipment to hear the difference, and many times the difference is a lateral change rather than a big jump forward. once you have the first 90%, the remaining 10% is REALLY expensive. And then you break it! For the sort of money some of these rigs cost, you could add on a new listening room. if you have money to throw away, one should get what you want i guess, but I'm happy with the 1st 90%!
