Mixed metaphor but: bit-perfect cartridge?

Don't you think it sounds completely crap for it, though? IIRC they bought some old equipment the Beatles used. It sounds rubbish IMO, and I won't comment about the music lol.

IMO Beatles stuff can also sound completely crap until you hear on the right sort of system (mostly to do with the speakers ability to reproduce mid and upper bass nicely).

A top dollar SPU and 12" arm & SP-10 do help a lot too;-)
