Turntable prices. Is my mind going?

@grislybutter , I know of plain looking units, but most units get the Goochi treatment first utilized by one of audios capital a--h-les Dan D'Agostino. Remember the gold screws! Dan is still pushing the limits. I would not use his electronics if they were the last on earth. I would rather sing to myself. 

@mijostyn Sometimes you have to make it shiny to justify the price, I guess. 

@grislybutter You have to make it shiny to sell it. Cars are the same way. The Italians know that better than anyone. Everything is a matter of style. Appearances.

Ferrari has a history of making some really awful cars, but they have standing because of style like the Testarossa, one of the most functionally awful cars I have ever driven. The Berlinetta Boxer is another beautiful, awful car. The new ones are much better due to CAD. I could run circles around those cars with 911s of the same period.  

Give me one audiophile with a $100,000 turntable over 1500 kids with Crosley suitcase players. Give me one Old World country mansion estate on 1000 acres over 4000 cheap family homes.
