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.

Well now that you bring it up. I'm quite the opposite. One way or the other what I have, has to be sold or my kids have to sell it. Most of my old Mac gear has gone up 5-10 fold at least, the same with the Thoren 121s and 124s.
Were they an investment? The answer is yes.
BUT
I stumbled into it when I sold out and went overseas in the 70s. I tripled my money. I bought overseas and doubled my money again here in the states with Accuphase gear.
I didn't mean to. I just did..
It's not that I don't like the gear mentioned in the thread, I love it.
I say buy one of each, it's your money. I like the horns for sure, if not to just look at.. The TT and actual gear??? Really you like the way it looks?
The Mona Lisa is pretty homely, ay? My mother would have said "Back that one in, son", "from the front, it's an assault". Crocheting away another bed spread
