OMG - How Much

[Oxfordian]

Just seen this new TT from Linn.

Maybe slightly outside of my budget but with only 250 being made I guess that for those with money price is irrelevant.

This is the LP12 that Apple wanted it to be. With £60,000 pricing to match. No wonder Linn are chuffed...!

 

[davidf]

Maybe priced to be in the same ballpark as SME’s flagship?

Touche!!!

Some speakers to go with it:

Monitor Audio Hyphn Loudspeaker

They started out as a Concept, and have become a reality combining a skeletal form and novel engineering solutions – but do they sound as other-worldly as they look? As safe bets go, that you've never seen anything quite like the £70k Monitor Audio Hyphn speaker is pretty much a dead cert. Yet...

Yep, they fit the bill, now how do you power the speakers, what about a phono stage and power supply, do they need to be of the same standard?

These should just about do it.

Not unless it has a £20 MC Ortofon cartridge 😁

 

[Al ears]

I doubt it...

 

[Oxfordian]

Yes, apparently Linn's authorised dealer will come and install it in your home, so I guess that they will make sure that it is properly balanced on a stable platform.

Okay I'm now heading for the exit.

I bet that they were all sold within minutes of being announced, there are lots of more money than sense people out there who just have to have that limited edition thingamee whatsis, and the price is not a concern.

Indeed, the country is awash with money. Try getting from A to B and there are cars everywhere. It's a 2 year waiting list for the electric Rolls Royce, even longer for a Rolex, 9 months for a Porsche and 6 months for a Range Rover. The country is awash with successful people. It just doesn't make the news!

I understand the wait for a Rolls, Porsche and Range Rover but not a Rolex after all they make around a million watches a year if word on the street is correct, is it really that hard to get a Rolex.

But you're right we have lots of people in this country with sizeable pots of money who will be more than happy to splash out on the Anniversary Sondek.

....and it will not be long until it's time to upgrade the suspension, power supply, arm board etc.... 🙂

The Goldmund Eidos SACD player is being launched soon. A mere £80,000. Very much an entry level price, as the reference version is £175,000.

Not sure if I won the lottery I’d spend that amount on anything hifi related.

But someone will buy it.

Think you'd need to be PL footballer to afford those prices.

I would, but it wouldn’t be on the usual bling most would buy.
