Most expensive/best decks in the world?

Ok, im wondering what they are, surely it cant just end with Technics MK5's (gold edition or whatever)

there MUST be some insanely expensive deck out there, that costys like $10,000 a pop, anyone know of them?

not that i can afford them or anything, but hey, i'd really like to know

p.s a pic would be great as well

yes, there are, i forget the name but they are like these super nicely designed art tabes, they have like minal noise and parts, look like a plat spinning on a rod, veyr sleek, sexy... ill try and find the website

I've seen a really expensive one. Like �1500 or something but it was only a playing turntable. No Pitch Control or anything like that.

you can get loads more expensive and better sounding turntables than a technics mk5, they just arn't meant for djing with.

most expensive doesn't always mean best. Take technics for example

we need an anti-techs alliance....

Doesn't sound like a bad idea

there are much more expensive decks out there... they just arent made for DJing use. they are for audiophiles for the sound quality--no pitch controls--just pure sounds for hi-fi systems.

my dad has one of those insanely expensive tables.

i think this: Linn Lp12 Turntable http://www.stereotimes.com/turn012802.shtm

LP12 turntable with current mods: $3300
Ekos Tonearm: $2700
Arkiv II low-output cartridge: $2200
Linto phono pre-amp: $1600

wow, i didnt realize how expensive that thing is until i googled it out

and also, i believe his needle alone cost more than the price i got BOTH my 1200s for!

There are turntables out there for 10-15grands a pop. The funny thing is that in the audiophile world..belt driven tts are the onces that rock and are most expensive (since this reduces the amount of vibration). My dad is a real audiohead and hes got a pair of Avantgarde Duo horn speakers that went for 15,000USD together with a tube amp (which runs on only 2 watts) that cost around 3000USD. But this is isnt really that much consider that you can get speakers for as much as 170,000USD (thats the price for a pair of Von Schweikert's VR-11 speakers)..fuck..I mean I've seen cables alone that cost 13grand. A Djs soundsytem (which is pure power) is pretty much the opposite to an audiphiles. He looks for perfekt harmony between base, mid, and treble so if he closes his eyes it will sound like he is listening to the real thing.

Peace, Dj Dissent.

Then again, it's not worth the money. For that amount of cash, u can get the artists to actually perform it live ;S

heh, except... not repeatedly, whenever you wish, and in the peaceful feel of your own home!

my dad's kinda like Dj Dissent's dad, too.
he just sits there.. sometimes with his eyes closed... and enjoys the music coming out from his goodness-knows-how-much spaekers.

Analog components can get VERY expensive. Here's one of the more expensive turntables, at almost $74,000 USD.

The Koetsu Onyx Platinum goes for $7,500 USD... The rich audiophile people are nuts. Then again, I'd do the same thing if I had cash to burn.

speaking of audiophile stuff, the loft in nyc has pioneered clubbing and the koetsu cartridges were handcrafted by a japanese samuri sword maker Koetsu Honami.

He conceived the Loft parties as a series of rent parties inviting only closest friends.This space was an ideal place for audio experimentation. During the 1971 David was introduced to audio engineer Alex Rosner. The precision of the sound system become the standard for every nightclub in the world: tweeter array and sub-woofers. Rosner applied audiophiles techniques to commercial sound and later Mancuso asked Rosner to build two tweeter array clousters.The original system was composed by Klipschorn speakers, JBL bullet tweeter arrays, Mark Lewinson amplifiers, Koestu hand-crafted movin coil cartridges and Mitchell Cotter turntable bases.
