New 55,000 Euro tonearm

I can bet you money that the first and second runs are already sold out and the waiting list is longer than a Chick-Filet line. 
Would I try it if I had the dough to be able to afford a $58,000 tonearm? I honestly don’t know. I don’t know how it feels to have that kind of money. Maybe to some people in the third world, what I spent on speaker cables is as obscene. 

I can bet you money that the first and second runs are already sold out and the waiting list is longer than a Chick-Filet line. 

Case in point - when Touraj Moghaddam launched the Vertere tonearm at US$35000 many years ago, he debuted it at the Hong Kong Hifi show and left the show with confirmed orders for at least 30 units.

These sorts of products have a very important function--they make purchases below their price seem more sane.  If you point to a $55,000 tonearm, your own purchase of a $5,500 seems more reasonable, after all, it is only one tenth the price of the SAT arm.
