Most Expensive Turntable in the World
Written by: tom Filed Under: Art, Electronics, Music, World on January 13th, 2006
The turntable started out as a device used to play music by rotating a phonograph record on a a circular horizontal platform, but it has evolved into a music instrument itself and some models now are just as much as the costliest instrument. The record player was the most popular device for playing sound from the 1870s through the 1980s, but in the modern work-a-day world of iTunes and Sattelite radio, the record player is often overlooked. DJs and Turntablism brought new life and new expensive turntables to the consumer and keeps the record player adapting.
Vinyl isn’t dead, and The Continuum Caliburn turntable proves this by aiming for audio perfection. The price for the most expensive turntable in the world starts at $90,000 and goes up to $112,000, depending on finishes and includes some amazing technology. The tonearm alone sells for $12,000. The turntable uses a magnetically levitated magnesium platter suspended in a vacuum to assure there are no vibrations. Vinyl is alive and kicking because the most passionate and wealthy audiophiles know that CD’s or mp3’s sound can ‘t touch anything on the most expensive turntable.

Save your money, the worlds best is the JC Verdier turntable,hands down. Buy one, add a SME 3012 and take a good vacation with the rest of the money.I’m sure you will have lots of money left over when you get back..
Enjoy the music.
The most expensive turntable requires the ears of a dog. Most 45 years old people can hardly hear more than 10 - 12 thousand HZ. Hence such an investment is more like investing on Gold and Diamonds rather than pretending you can hear the most silent whispers of such a brilliant piece of art. On the other hand a wealthy person is more than welcome to pay for his vanity the smart inventor of this equipment and tell his friends the story of how much he spent to buy the most expensive turntable in the world
