I had a strange effect a few days back. I spoke with an audio friend of my who own a few very top performing turntables. He recently has seen the alleged new production of Micron Seiki - the Air Force One turntable and he very much liked it. I asked him if he will be coming with 80K for this TT, he replied “Why not.”
I felt very strange about his attitude as he has absolutely no justification why this new TT shall be better or worse than a number of other TTs he has. He even admitted that it is very unlikely that the new Air Force One will be able to over perform his other TTs (wish are unique and very good). Still, he is willing to get this new TT just because it is sexy and prestigious new toy. This was actually what he admitted.
I need to tell you that as soon he said it I felt a sudden acute lack of interest to talk with him about audio. I did not ask him what record you played lately and what in sound he did not like. I just felt that our perception of audio and our relationship with audio degenerated to them level that I do not even want to engage the people on the subject.
What kind sense of actions audio people have when they buy audio just because they want to add it to own collection of pointless glitter?
