If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear

Steve Guttenberg was there and made a video in 2020.

Then he made another video with audiophile who actually owns their small speakers and prefer them to many well known speakers he owned.

Everything in High-End is expensive, very few modern high-end units are beautiful and expensive, they are normally ugly and expensive.

OMA Producs are definitely not ugly, they are different from any other manufacturers, they are trying to make something unique, his design is retro futurism. Their new turntable looks like something from the 1920s, this is not like your Rega or Pro-Ject.

Unique things made by qualified designers are normally expensive, but some people are happy to pay extra for unique design for their interior. This is a part of luxury life style. They are in NY after all.

360K Turn Table? I guess I'm not the 360K Turntable type.

I bought a house for 39k 30 years ago and was just offered 345K.

If I bought the 360K Turntable today, I wonder if I could sell it tomorrow for 39K and in 30 years for 39.00 dollars.

Nice stuff not for everyone however.

There are car nuts and wealthy people who buy exotic autos. The same wealthy people buy expensive art, jewelry, furniture and spend millions on designing their living spaces and like one of a kind conversation pieces. So why not have an audio specific manufacturer cater to the same crowd?

While that may sound like a great ROI if you had put the same $39K into the S&P500 30 years ago and just let it sit you’d have close to $900K on your investment and you would have paid 0% interest along the way.  I'm guessing you paid some mortgage interest over the years. 

Slightly off topic but not really - as the point is that we should never categorize our audio hobby as an investment in anything but our enjoyment value.
