Period. Diminishing returns aside, I highly doubt a human could tell the difference from playing a disk on a Technics 1200. Just like those fools that thought coathanger wire sounded better in a blind listening test over monster cables. Fools. ...or maybe, just maybe, we've got real live aliens from space living on this planet. Anyone who'd think of purchasing one of these goofy turntables is nuts. Period.

Theres no such thing as 'Not worth it'. How you percieve value is totally different from how another might percieve it. If everything comes down to monitary value, then 'nothing' is worth it. Quality will always be quality, beauty will always be beauty, pricelss to some, valueless to othes. Nonsense comment. Theres no such thing as 'Not worth it'.

Turntables definitely sound better than CD Players, that argument has long since been put to bed. Does a £1200 turntable sounds twice as good as a £600 turntable ?. No, the law of diminishing returns comes in effect, course it doesnt, Does a 'Monster' cable that costs a hundred times more than a piece of mains wire sound a 100 times better ? No, that'd be silly to think that, but, the reality is, if you've got the money, and you can appreciate 'quality' and 'beauty', then you'd be a ' sucker' not to indulge. More nonsense.

Even though they may be 'amazing' - I cannot help but be drawn to the expression "they have more money than sense!" And where to keep it? in a dust-free, Child-proof, windowless,air purified bomb proof VAULT ? With glass and stainless steel chairs & matching end tables ? Could you ever fully enjoy using such an item without the fear of sneezing on it ! And who do you get to tune it service it? I liked the one in "Pulp Fiction" But this is too extreme!

It's because if you love cars, you want the best made, if you love records, you want the best turntable so that you can be assured that you are getting the best, looking at it gives you pride.. idk just my opinion.. i would never pay that much personally but i could imagine why somebody else would..

I remember listening to records that were clearly made from worn out 'mothers' and recycled vinyl. That's one of the reasons CD was able to take over the market. But, has Qube listened to anything from Mobile Fidelity? My "Plastic Ono Band" by John Lennon on MFSL vinyl, sounds far superior to the compact disc I have of the same album. I've transferred this to CD-R and have made AB comparisons for different friends. All agree the MFSL vinyl is a better recording. I understand Qube’s comments.

Why do we 'need' these expensive toy? If you haven't tasted Godiva Chocolate, it is hard to explain why a small lump of chocolate should cost $10 when you could get a much larger piece for $.55 in the supermarket. The cheaper one, mind you, doesn't taste that bad, either. It's just that once you are spoiled, you dig the taste of the expensive manna. Some of you obviously are audio-virgins.

People can be such self deluded fools! Back in the day, I used to work at Cinram - one of the largest record pressing plants in in the world - and you wouldn't believe what a hack job making records was. Superior product, my a55! From nodule infested nickel stampers, cheap regrind in the vinyl, to QC'ing done by third world labor that barely spoke english, anyone who thinks vinyl sounds better than digital is a total sucker...the kind that buys these turntables...and also convinces themselves that Monster cables really do sound better and are worth the price. Some egregiously ignorant morons out there... HAHAHA!!
