18k and he glues wallpaper all over plywood

Why the heck does the arm cost 10k by itself jeez

I wonder how it compares with a well set up Linn LP12 set up...I remember many many years ago seeing a review of a $30k German turntable, which, while very very good indeed, still had a bit of "cogging" compared with a well set up Linn/Ittok turntable/tonearm at around 10% of the price.

I was wondering how it could cost 13 grand but then I saw the sheet of plywood in the first second so it makes sense

Does it turn in a special kind of way for that money?

[u/b3geek]

... and it's an idler wheel model.. Just shows that it's not about performance. Rather, spending $$ on a thing because no one else would.

But does it play Stairway To Heaven backwards??

I'm a little surprised he doesn't have a C&C setup but some great woodworking.

At least 13,000 pounds. What a neat process.
