Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing

Right. We are only interested in the performance of that thing.

I am glad I started this highly amusing thread. 
As it happens - I have the Amazon Model One - sadly not the Referenz.
I am not against spending money on even expensive components - though I am sure some will think they are cheap no doubt.
I have to say that in many ways my barometer is meaured by an article I read about a manufacturer of High End amps (name escapes me). He wass once approached with over £50,000 to have an amp built for a cusstomer - his response was to say spend something like £30,000 on some lie music concerts first and to then spend the rest on his amps. My point being that even in the world of high end equipment, there must be relative value IMHO - that is both in terms of performance and material value.

so, I will come to your house, play my trombone and sing for you (now just try to imagine that for a minute) for $75 American dollars per hour. **

You will get live and then some.

**You will also need to cover my travel, food, board and maybe some miscellaneous sexpenses.

Durand, Durand


funny .......


Since this audio hobby falls under the very subjective category where no standards exist and everyone's room is different;  this thread must therefore fall under the no such thing as bad publicity category.   

Good show Lohanimal.

Some live concerts aren't available at any price, such as The Beatles, Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus, Vladimar Horowitz, Jascha Heifetz, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, orchestras conducted by Leonard Bernstein and Leopold Stokowski, etc.

Lohanimal -- being British (like me but I now live in the USA) you really need to save up for the Dalby Audio Design D7 Vinyl Stabilizer at a much more reasonable $6840 direct to you from West Yorkshire (once you get to the top of the waiting list)

The Durand is actually a cheaper variation on this, and more suited to my suspended turntable
