New 55,000 Euro tonearm

To comment on the observable design and construction of a tonearm without necessarily speculating on its putative sonic character is no sin. If it is, we cannot have a conversation, since there are very few products, let alone tonearms we’ve all heard. And even in the case where we do share listening experience, we are separated by having done the listening in dissimilar systems . I only object to quips that are based on very high cost.

Anyway the Funk gizmo has naught to do with a $55K tonearm.

I can bet you money that the first and second runs are already sold out and the waiting list is longer than a Chick-Filet line. 
Would I try it if I had the dough to be able to afford a $58,000 tonearm? I honestly don’t know. I don’t know how it feels to have that kind of money. Maybe to some people in the third world, what I spent on speaker cables is as obscene.

Case in point - when Touraj Moghaddam launched the Vertere tonearm at US$35000 many years ago, he debuted it at the Hong Kong Hifi show and left the show with confirmed orders for at least 30 units.
