It’s nice to know that in this day and age of economic fear, unemployment, war, political corruption, etc., there are people out there who can still appreciate the finer things in life.

CNN has an article about a $64,000 turntable that was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/01/16/ces.luxury.turntable/index.html

It has four arms and the platter floats on a magnetic field to minimize vibration.  It takes half a day for a skilled technician to install it and calibrate it.  And the manufacturer refuses to let anyone sell it on the internet.

Glad I held on to my vinyl collection.  Now I just need an extra $64,000 so I can get a new turntable!
