USD vs Yen who is cashing in! TechDAS

The SP10R Motor Unit only and Power Supply is a £11K purchase in the UK.

Using the Japan Recommended Retail of 1 Million Yen, and using the Yen to GBP exchange of 0.0057, the SP10R is coming in at just shy of £6K prior to added shipping and Import Taxes.

That would still leave funds for a personal choice for a very respectable Plinth, Tonearm and Cart'.

Using the above exchange rate the MSL Platinum has been found at £4K. 

If choosing this Cart', £12K would get a serious set up inclusive of Plinth and TA, it would certainly be a set up that might need another £50K spent if using other Competitors Brands models to attempt to surpass it.

Go to Germany and buy yourself a new Porsche for the cost of the TechDas! That's how crazy the pricing of the ultra-high end turntables has become!

Manufacturers and distributors have to smooth out their prices over time. I never see anyone complaining that prices haven't gone up when exchange rates move the other way.

All prices for luxury items are crazy, if you’ve lived long enough. And most of us have. I certainly did not intend to start another round of kvetching and finger pointing about prices. That bores me.
