Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ?

for a turntable not full analog front end 

I am sorry for my stupidity but what does this sentence mean?

On the subject, the part I understand: yes I would. 90% I listen to is vinyl. I don't know what a 10K turntable sounds like but probably pretty sweet.

grislybutter, it means just the table. Tonearm, tonearm cable, cartridge and phono stage are not included.

So you just wanted to start an analog vs digital argument?  You really don't have anything better to do? 

@mikhailark I asked questions in that thread that would have clarified that a 10K streamer does something different than a 1K streamer and I never got a fair response or explanation. I just wanted to learn and understand what would/could be the reason for the difference and the conversation fizzled out without an answer. The answers that were provided with all that bit-perfect stuff would have proved your point.

tomcy6, and you ?
