How many do you think you'd have to sell to people who spent $30k on their
turntable (less arm and cartridge),
another $5k for the arm and $2k for the cartridge? All you'd have to do is
search out some of the real high end
dealers (brands like Goldmund, SME, Koetsu). A LOT of people own mid-range
turntables because they own
music they still like that'll never be released on CD and some prefer the
sound of vinyl...neither CDs nor records
sound like live music, each introduces its own distortions and noise.
Publications that advertise to turntable owners include The Absolute Sound,
Stereophile, and Sensible Sound.
