That is some seriously steam-punk business right there.
lol.
How much for the single tone arm model?
I don't have much use for four tone arms on the same player.

27K. But then you have to go through the terrible inconvinience of changing cartridges as you play different styles of music. Oh the horror!

I was wondering that myself. Sixty-four thousand bucks! But then I read further: Originally Posted by sicboater

Well, all right then.
"Why would anyone want four arms on their record player? Different pickup cartridges produce different types of sound, and some audiophiles like to match their record players' arms to different genres of music without going through the hassle of swapping cartridges."
Well, that explains everything. Don't you just hate swapping the cartridge every time you want to listen to something different? What's an extra $37,000 for that kind of convenience, I ask you.

Holy Cow - that is a serious turntable - looks really cool, but it's one of those things on the fringe of lunacy, like the $1 million dollar writst watches - marvels to behold, but seriously?

For 64k or even 27k, the damn thing should be direct drive at least. All I need is to be listening to my ultra rare 53.8 rpm vinyl prototype of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and have the friggin' belt blow out (no doubt, costing a reasonable $1600 bucks to replace).

Ahhh, but every audiophile knows you can't really isolate the motor/vibrations from the table if it's truely direct drive. You should buy a Sony... Originally Posted by sicboater

Well for a measly 20 000 USD you can get a Linn Klimax DS to stream your digital files directly to your sound system.
