Why is the price of new tonearms so high

Im wondering why the price of new tonearms are so high, around $12k to $15k when older very good arms can be bought at half or less?

Axel, join the club, I'm sure. Makes me wish I could dump my table. Too darn complex. 1's and 0's are much easier to explain. Just 1's....and 0's??? But then what would I play all those great sounding records I've collected over the years with? It takes too long to convert them to loss less digital.

(Clue "Living next door to Allis") Someone you have a great time with, playing 'table-tennis'? You think Dertonarm is into this game? Axel
