It doesn't matter if it sounds good...

Seriously. I couldn't care less if someone wants to spend $500 or more on a record weight. Sure, I will have doubts that it sounds any better than a much more economical solution, and I may get annoyed at the marketing hype that makes it sound like you can't live without the night and day difference such a product brings, and even more annoyed at people who think you have to splash that kind of cash on accessories if you want decent sound.

But, we all buy things for reasons well beyoind pure sound. I have a vintage table that I think sounds just great, but I have it for a combination of reasons. Sound is one, but so are aesthetic concerns, so are the features the table has, so is price. I think we are all doing a bit of casting stones from our glass houses if we are too bent out of shape because someone spends a bunch of money on something that can be construed as being about more than just the pure sound improvement vs. cost. We all do it to one extent or another.
