If the rest of the setup is up scratch then all you get is the recording and you'll forget about they system. Your body and mind will relax and allow you to have the same emotional connection with the music as you'd have in a live venue and any you'll be able to see into the performance with any average or better recording.

I am sorry, I do not buy it. I understand that a few days back you called the relationship between music and listening experience and an intellectual masturbation but suddenly you dived directly into pseudo talk about listening experiences and you somehow attributed it to a turntable.  

What I called mental masturbation was the pretense to design of the ultimate turntable, not the musical experience or sound!

My I ask you a question: if you have a hypothetically fine all together installation and experiencing your so called “emotional connection with the music” then what you suggest is that substituting Micro with Linn Sondek you lose all your advanced emotional state? Sorry, this is very faulty viewpoint and I do not subscribe to it.  

Do you have a system that gives you that emotional connection? If you do I can send you my Linn and you can see it for yourself when you exchange it for your SX-8000.

Since the conversation in this thread is about turntables then from my point of view a better Turntable is enabler to get “different sound” that shaped by the rest of the system. Just an enabler not the source itself. A better TT gives more opportunity  to shape sound and offers less marginal restrictions. That is it. Cartridges have own sound, not turntables. Turntables have own limits. You can listening a cartridges with some degree of accuracy can predict what cartridge is playing. You can do it by listening of what cartridge does. When however you are listening a TT you can’t observe any active sonic character but you pay attention where the limits are.
 

You can all it enabler or whatever you want, and yes its only a link in a chain. No one's disputing that nor the limitations of reproduced sound, but it doesn't have to be perfect to transport you beyond the mechanical wall, that's what I'm talking about.
