Here in America it costs $6,000. A very expensive turntable.

Amateur, try the new Statement from Clearaudio, £92k, without tonearm, weighing in at around £32k (of which it can take 4!). Add on a suitable cartridge and you could push it on towards £150k with only one tonearm. I don't know what that is in dollars but it's comfortably north of $200k I expect.

You forgot the cost of a new floor to take the weight.

In that case where do I sign?

SO much so that I've just taken possession of an Xtension 9, in preference to the RP8 and various other £2k odd t/ts. With the Quintet Black cartridge it's exceptional value and sounds several leagues above an RP6, for example - very smooth and stunningly detailed (and I've had LP12s etc).
What made a big difference too was the balanced XLR outputs into the Phono Box RS XLR inputs - quite surprisingly superb all round. Maybe I'll get the Xtension 10 next year but tbh don't need to. The battery-powered Phono PSU looks interesting though!
