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

Hahahahaha. Wow, those prices! :)

the %1 will buy, because, to them high dollars means the absolute best. And dropping 1.2M on an audio system would feel good once you are driving the gear home.
If, ...IF, we had this money, which we never ever will, would NOT spend that much on audio gear, coming from nothing, sweat, blood, hard work is respected by our family, those born into money, or who make to much young, won’t k ow the work it takes to just being able to “get by” and have an extra hundred bucks after, gas, water, garbage, electric, the stupid as fu*k tv,internet prices.

I did stay at a holiday inn last night.....😀

seriously, would not spend that kind of money if I had 20X that.
there is a lot of amazing stuff out there. If we had the cash, I would definitely get the new Carver silver seven mono’s, a pair of the new Iridium monos’ as the base of my second system.
Build 4 bitchen complete systems for the price of only that fugly TT. 
The Iridium monoblocs need a much larger power supply, only 600W at 4Ohm, 400W in 8

SOME PEOPLE DONT appreciate what they have.
when you become stable, and,come from almost nothing, you appreciate what you have.

How can you assume that "the 1%" don't appreciate from whence they came? Your assumptions may make you feel more justified that you wouldn't even if you could...the human mind does that....assumes that one's lot in life and how they got there as the right path....but there are many right paths and achieving financial success and wealth isn't an automatic ticket to making dumb purchases.

One thing you categorically get wrong in your post: There is zero chance, absolutely zero, that the person you described in your post is going to be driving their 7 figure gear home in their own car, not in this price range. Beside, it won't all fit. LOL.

Communism was a failure, and now capitalism has run amok. If this makes you angry, then spend some time and energy in the political arena to promote a more level playing field. Megabuck turntables are only a byproduct of societal problems and not worth the angst.

Gratitude and a give back / pay it forward attitude will take you far, no matter the station in life.

My foot doctor share a building with a small church. And i mean small, yet they run a food bank.

Grace and peace.

Huh? Do you think expensive turntables are designed by homeless people, or what?
