Ok, sorry for the question, but a buddy of mine is amazed at the amount of money us "loonies" will spend on our hobby.

Sure....We've all heard that before. 


But he's curious, and I vaguely recall a TT that was something like $80,000 to purchase, setup, and install.
My (horrible) memory tells me it was made by Walker, but I can't find it.
Any assistance from you fellas?

Who makes the most expensive turntable?

Thanks,
Bob

Yeah I think Goldmund has a $200k plus model.

I believe Goldmund and Pluto are two of the most expensive with models over $200,000.

Whoah. Make that Goldmund by far at 300 kilo clams

Here is a link that should help you. Included is the aforementioned Goldmund at $300K, more expensive than the Continuum Caliburn from down under.

My turntable is $415,000 but stay tuned right here because I'm going to offer it at an unprecedented discount sometime next week. Don't snooze on this one, folks. You have to be opportunistic if you want to secure your little piece of analog excellence.

if it comes with a three car garage, a jacuzzi and a view of the ocean, I'll take it.

Have I got a deal for you!!! Prime location overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, room to easily park 3 or more autos, ocean view on three sides (and every 3-4 years, on all 4 sides!), jacuzzi on all floors, and if you buy now, you get an unlimited supply of crude oil courtesy of British Petroleum!  I'll even throw in a Dual 1219!

Better go with S clark - I can't compete with that deal.

You're gonna need that grease to keep that 1219 rolling.
What? I'm losing my "bearings" here.
Where is the photo of the Rega P-1Billion? Let's see, turntable is $1K, mods are $1Billion minus $1K

Compared to the Goldmund, I'm sure this Clearaudio Statement is utter crap!

But of course Goldmund is the best! I mean Nagy told us so.

Cool, thanks guys. Those opened his eyes and dropped his jaw.
They far exceeded the price of the one I was thinking of!
