Turntable prices. Is my mind going?


Stereophiles Recommended components offerings at $300,000 Plus!  And weights of many hundreds of pounds? Is quality now by the pound? Audiphools exist- just like Saquatch.

@mahgister knowledge on how something works is not the same as using/enjoying it.

Max Verstappen is not an expert in engineering but he is a multiple time Formula 1 Champion.

What's wrong with someone 'outsourcing' the expertise in design and implementing a wonderful audio system?  

It's awesome you enjoy your system.  Do you think they enjoy it any less because they don't understand the technical details that create the music they enjoy?

@mahgister I appreciate your response. To each their own, I can enjoy music or a car without knowing all the details of how they work.  I may not have the mental capacity or patience to understand the how.

I hear differences in systems and understand it’s my individual preference. I can enjoy a record without knowing all the details of how the cartridge, tonearm and phono stage work.

I am an avid car enthusiast and driver, I can’t do a break job. I can detail them and exploit their mechanical grip.
