Has anyone heard the SAT XD1
@cleeds Do explain how my experience, your experience, or anyone’s experience with the table has anything to do with the asking price of this product? Or, are you missing these points on purpose?? Oh, I forgot, you are able to purchase this table with your pocket change, isn't that right...and think it is a value proposition. |
davey, I think your point or what is driving your responses is that you are angry/upset/unhappy with the prices. Life is too short for that sort of fretting, so far as I am concerned, but you are entitled to your huff. I am more pissed off that a 1962 Ferrari 250GTO could sell at auction for more than $30M, because I neglected to buy one in 1972 that was for sale at $12,500, from a reputable Ferrari dealer who was also the North American distributor at that time. (Of course, my salary that year as a medical intern was $8500 plus an apartment for me and my wife.) Try not to want the SAT turntable and tonearm, and you will feel a lot better. We can agree the prices are ridiculous and so what? |
lewm, you miss my point, and maybe it hasn’t been made clear enough in my prior posts. I really couldn’t give a darn if Marc Gomez wants to price his stuff in the ether, the only one who is going to suffer from that is himself. My point is that the continued unabated upwards pricing structure by so many high end manufacturer’s really is NOT good for the overall health of this hobby ( as my friend stated, it is now basically ’comical’),as evidenced by the many younger folk who look at these pricing points and decide to take a pass on the whole hobby. I personally have absolutely zero interest in the SAT turntable, as IMO there are plenty of other competing designs that I think would be a) more appropriately priced, b) give close to or similar performance and c) are far superior looking. BTW, IF you saw a Ferrari 250GTO in 1972 for $12.5K--and didn’t get to buy it, i dont think this is quite analogous to being able (or not) to buy the SAT table for $282K today...unless the little SAT is going to be worth millions in the future! Maybe,LOL. |
daveyf Do explain how my experience, your experience, or anyone’s experience with the table has anything to do with the asking price of this product?Sure. There is no substitute for experience. It’s that simple. Oh, I forgot, you are able to purchase this table with your pocket change, isn’t that right...and think it is a value proposition.Similarly, snark is no substitute for reason. I really couldn’t give a darn if Marc Gomez wants to price his stuff in the ether ...You seem to care about this very much. Why so coy? |
