A turntable for $12K? Sheesh, that’s nothing. Have you seen the prices for ultra high-end audiophile equipment?

[Here’s](https://www.thecableco.com/emperor-double-crown-speaker-cable-pair.html) a pair of speaker cables for $50K. Oh, you want 3 meters instead of 2 meters? Well then that’ll be $71K.

This stuff is strictly for people with more money than brains.
