8K for a one-time listen?


As someone who can appreciate the potential value of $20K speaker wires in an appropriate system, this is over the top, even for me.  Devialet is issuing recordings on actual lacquer for $7900, but the kicker is - they can only be listened to ONCE.  And the lacquer wears away.  All I can say is - Actually, I have nothing to say.  
Here it is in case you wish to indulge.

Also, if they are only good for one play, than some sort of damage must be happening to the record. So what's that doing to your stylus? Where are the shavings/fragments of lacquer going?
For 8k you could get a really nice real to real and some master tapes and blow that record away
