And please dont tell me that PQ is more important than "numbers", been hearing that from the turntable crowd for years in regard to audio.
What can be more important than quality?Numbers don't always tell the story,would you prefer a 100 watt/chanell Onkyo or a 60 watt Krell amp with a nice pre-pro?

PQ is numbers! Thats the only objective way of judging anything.
You may prefer the softer picture of CRT, lookin at a picture that will never exceed
34in in direc view sets, having to watch it in a darkened room because of glare,
thats your perogative, doesnt mean its better to anyone but YOU.
For years "tubehead" audiophiles have been swearing up and down that "tube sound"
is far superior to "solid state", What they're talking about is the massive amounts of harmonic distortion, sometimes as much as 10%.
They have heater circuits that power the emitters in tubes, basically a space heater in your gear.
Likewise CRT has a high voltage power supply you can hear sometimes, the pitch on the screen will never give you more than 800 lines or so, and if you get them bright enough
to see the one advantage , black level, disapears.
CRTS are the new turntables, people swear up and down that they are "better" in spite of all evidence , both lab and listening wise.
As for a "new" cartrige I have a audio technica, less than a year old,
and my records never sounded better, but C.D still sounds better than them.
If CRTS are you're poison better stock up, they will be extinct in a few years, save cheap
small portables from Korea and China
