terrific video by Ken Barnes about this group of music lovers with deep pockets.  You'll love all the exotic turntables and suspension systems, not to mention speakers:

Not to be missed, really.

Thanks! That makes me feel much better about spending a couple hundred on capacitors for my preamp, although I suspect it might be a similar percentage of my income vs some of the guys on that vid spending six figures...

The first showed speaker, an Tannoy looks great, nice images.
I already have see this video afew years ago, it yet look self promotion to me, I would never confess I own a system this expensive.

In the middle of the video the wives and daughters of audiophiles spenders show their perplexity by the finance expense.
Greece was the Florida or Vegas from Europe, these guys know how to live.

Interesting web vid.

Some observations:
Reflection of each member in a different tube as camera pans across is neat effect.
Filmmaker often returns to images of many stranded TT belt.
&, of course, way over-compressed for web distribution.

This Greek Audiophile video seems to resurface every few years.  We have a couple very long threads about it somewhere in the archives, as Chris points out.  It turned my on to Diana Krall's version of Temptation back in the day.

I showed this to my wife to make her realize that my audio hobby is small in comparison.

She seems unconvinced.   :duh:

I liked the part where the interviewer asks, "Your cartridge cost more than my car?"

"Yes".
