I can't imagine anyone spending $28,000 on a tone arm. I don't even know anyone who's spent $2,800 on a tone arm. But the numbers are intriguing. If just 1 percent of Stereophile's subscribers (72,159 June 2013) bought an SAT at $28,000, that would represent revenue of $2.02 million. If the other 99 percent spent $2800 on a tone arm, that would be only $2 million.
But why is my subscription subsidizing a "review" for something I or 99 percent of the reader base would never buy?
I just wish reviewers used more common sense when picking products to review - and take serious the responsibility to question all attributes of product - including the pricing.
Maybe a zeolot like Michael Fremer could even ask what's making the slew of re-issue LPs so expensive. Maybe why something like Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers The Big Beat is listed for something north of $34 an LP.
