In Reply to: A mere $12,000 for the new Grado top of the line cart. posted by Rick W on August 2, 2017 at 16:15:35:
The extremely high prices for certain pieces of stereo equipment in my view fall into the same area of comparisons in other totally unrelated products, e.g., automobiles (although you can buy audio gear that costs more than an expensive car!) and wines. Any decent automobile will accomplish the basic transportation tasks required, but, if you can afford it, why not spring for one that gets it done with style and provides at least a measure of additional satisfaction. And there are many excellent bottles of wine at more than reasonable prices, under $20 or even under $10, that are perfectly enjoyable, but why not a $500 Grand Cru Bordeaux if you have the bread?
That said, I use a perfectly satisfactory Ortofon 2M Blue that sells for $236. Would I like to have a multi-thousand dollar cartridge? Damn straight...but then I'd have to buy a new mega-buck turntable to justify the extra performance I'd be getting from the cartridge!
