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.

I am waiting for a matching record player that will self destruct as soon as this record stops after playing the entire record.


Lol!

If you buy one for $8K do you get a price break on additional purchases? If you purchase two at one time do they combine shipping?

PT Barnum would be proud. 

So how is this something that is so special. From the video it appears that these are not original DD recordings but taken from a recorded copy. Are they actually trying to say that this is the ultimate transfer medium. This is just stupid silly. No, this is close to criminal.
