Is there a trend?

Could it be that the more you spend on stuff upstream of the sound the better your return will be?

I recently switched back to the Grado Black because I want to preserve my Ortofon X5-MC for the next turntable coming to me (used Linn Axis). While nothing is offensive about the Grado, it really lacks the in-the-room presence and air the X5 has. Although, I will confess the slightly 'brassy' sound of the X5 is not for everyone, it's pros far out weigh the cons for me, (in my system, and for my tastes anyway).
