RE: Guess I don't have to ask then

I have always wondered why anyone would spend that kind of money on a turntable, plus the requisite 250K speakers, and six figure preamps, amps, cables... probably north of $500K when all is said and done.

People with this kind of money simply do not have time to listen for extended periods of time... they are too busy doing whatever it is they do to make all that cash.

So, you think...well dude, they buy these mega buck systems to make sure that when they do have a spare moment, they get the best of the best experience.

I will counter with the fact that they simply know how to make money and don't know how to spend it.

Consider that a half million or more system is not sitting in a 3 bed 2 bath ranch... it's in a 10 to 40 million dollar mansion... which if they knew how to spend all that hard earned money would include a music hall where live musicians would play the freaking music. Now that's worth the money...
