About what one might spend on a first cartridge upgrade. If you’re talking about a value proposition, let’s say I had an analogue front end and I wanted to alter the tone so I swapped cartridges to process the signal. It will either do what I want it to or it won’t. If I want to try something different I’ll have to replace it or something else as another arbitrary attempt at altering the signal.
It clearly doesn’t appeal to you as a method of controlling tone, but the ability to alter the signal not just overall but to each individual driver, switch it back again, get an immediate A-B, see it on a graph, measure response, calculate filters, adjust for room modes....
Value is subjective.
