linn sondek tt

@rmwear   Agreed the upgrades are overpriced. However, like you pointed out, all audiophile products are overpriced...and turntable manufacturer's are one of the worst offenders!( palling in comparison to cable manufacturer's ( rip-off artists IOW)  I'm not going to try and justify the pricing, as I too think it is somewhat unreasonable, but at least the table can be updated, how many others can you say that about?

... the Linn is way overpriced ... all audiophile products are overpriced ...

If you really believe that, you're probably in the wrong hobby.

 @rwwear  Why, because he should be accepting of the fact that most a’philes are ok with being fleeced...and that is part of the hobby! I’m not saying the Linn is way overpriced, but the majority of gear in the hobby seems to fall into that category, and like I stated above, Cable’s in particular. Although, I am listening to one exception to that rule right now. Unfortunately, it is the very rare exception in the cable industry.

I think cartridges as also way overpriced... there are so many cartridges costing well over $10K from Koetsu, Lyra, AirTight.... The cartridge is so small ... How much is the material cost ? 

daveyf you should be replying to cleeds not me. And cleeds, I don’t pay retail and get lots of stuff free especially cables. I paid 100.00 for the Linn Sondek many years ago.
