I was keeping an eye on the PBN-DN308 Denon turntable with Kuzma arms, and that build alone cost $75,000 between the table, tonearms and cartridges. It sold for $10,750. His ridiculous custom 1500lb turntable ended up selling for $19,750, which is around what one of the Kuzma tangential air bearing tonearms sells for, and it has two of them.

Good luck to whoever has to haul all of that stuff away.

    I hate to state the economically obvious, but … A ridiculous $20,000 turntable is only a good deal as it can be easily sold for much more :) Just because Ken Fritz paid a million dollars for his system doesn’t mean it is actually worth that much. :)
