Insanely "High-End"

[Elroy]

LOOK AT THIS!

 

[Urizen]

And your point is? Trolling for yet another worthless "eat the rich" thread?

 

[Elroy]

Thought it was obvious. Uh OK I'll say it again. It's insanely high-end.

 

[JohnVF]

By some accounts, the best turntable made. Too much for my budget by many decimal points but if somebody wanted to give me one I wouldn't laugh at them. It is supposedly a phenomenal machine, and I can appreciate that from afar.

Seen 'em before. I can't afford one, but might go for it if I could.

Easy there Chief! Been on AK for a long time I am not now nor will I ever be a "Troll". Step off.

Just as we do not make fun of folks in love with their vintage (fill in the blank), nor should we eyeroll the bleeding edge of technology, price, marketing, whatever. Everybody's cool is different.

I do appreciate seeing the listing.

 

[Urizen]

Step off.

No, I will not. I'm simply sick of "dumpster-diving" mentality.

I can't afford that table or a Maybach, either. However, it's reverse-snobbery to begrudge those who can.

I could probably swing the $90k, but the $2,000 shipping cost is a definite deal breaker.

Just kidding.

I'm glad we live in a world where these exists, even if I can't afford one myself. I can easily understand the asking price.

 

[Elroy]

Here's the problem slick. The way your taking it was not my motivation. So no, I am NOT trolling for "eat the rich" sentiment. Excuse the hell out of me for posting what seemed to be a notable Ebay listing!

Exactly. I was thinking that I only have $50k to spend on a record player...

kidding, BTW

It's an interesting table to read about...lots of cool things going on in it. I can't afford to buy everything I read about, sometimes I just like reading about it.

So the rolleyes smiley at the end of your post was accidental?

 

[tybrad]

Elroy, I appreciate your post! Don't know what all of the fuss has been about.
Thanks for the look!

Seems a little hasty jumping all over Elroy for his post. Many here like to see ultra or insanely high end gear. There was no comment from the OP about it other than the adjective insanely which in my book is not a trolling comment and the smiley which I generally ignore. I thought AK was not in the business of attacking people but here a moderator appears to have done just that.

Please remove my post when the moderators post is gone. Or I can edit it later.

The only possible place for this to go is people getting in trouble for commenting on moderation, so I think we'll stop here and let it stand as is.
