Do you know I was so stunned by the technology I never noticed a price....

Do you know I was so stunned by the technology I never noticed a price....

I suspect that price will be about £70,000, inc 20% VAT in the UK

I’ll stay with CDs.

If you were tempted by the tech, I suspect you're a smidge less enamoured with that cost! It's absolutely savage.

Nothing from the Swiss company Soulution is cheap...
It's only £61k 🙂
For comparison the TechDas AirForce Zero is $450,000

No wonder it's called 787, it's the price of a jet plane. 😂

Seriously though, there's plenty of thinking outside the box.
I was looking at turntables with optical stylus. Also very pricey.

I understand they don't quite work like CDs, can't think what was different but someone better placed will clarify why it wasn't quite the same as CDs. This it seems didn't gain any traction.

Best to be combined with the Soulution 755 phono stage ($72,000)

But of course.
Would sir like an amplifier as well? 🙂
How about the 711 Power and 725 Preamp, yours for £85000

No thanks.
I prefer the 701. It is a mono block so I need a pair: € 165.000,00
The 727 pre is € 65.000,00
Need a DAC as well: € 69.000,00
