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 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.

 

I can enjoy Bach in a bad car radio...

But i need to hear the church acoustic out of my head with my headphone or the speakers filling the room out of my head if i use headphone...

I used acoustics to modify them and optimize them ...

No need to any knowledge to enjoy music...

But i wanted to have audiophile experience without breaking my low budget... i succeeded because i am retired and do it full time few years ... Anybody can if he invest time studying and experimenting with the right chosen gear for sure ...

i dont know any low cost headphone i could enjoy save the one i optimized...

We must pick the right gear to begin with, not necessarily the costlier one; the gear we can optimize and modify...

i am not interested in car mechanics at all but i was fascinated by acoustics not mere room acoustic all acoustics knowledge for sure ... ( my wife drive the car by the way 😊 )

I have a Regal RP 6 fitted with a stock Denon DL103

I have a Rega P10 fitted with an Aphelion 2. Playing both through an Aesthetic Rhea phon stage.

I enjoy the TT with the Denon DL103. Not judging the sound but it just is more enjoyable to listen to. The P 10 rig is 6 times the price of the RP 6.

Just saying
