You can't and shouldn't define cost vs value based on your wishes, the marketplace should be the judge. Of course that's if you believe in free markets.

Well, you unwillingly are revealing the biggest secret of any civilized person: a sense of value is based only upon owner wished and nothing else. I have been practicing audio sine 8 years old and I wish I learned it sooner. David, please do not hallucinate about the existing of marketplace or rule of market in high end audio. Among all people you should know better. There is no market pricing in audio. There is only mental abuse and financial extortion in psychologically disturbed people in high end audio – that is how the prices are formed in high end. Your new TT is a great example. It cost $100K – for all intended purpose a high price. In 10 years let say 50 of them will be sold. Now, how many people among the 50 owner would realize or even understand the true sonic potential of this TT? You know that I very seldom ask question if I do not know the answers….

Unfortunately it is juts bumper sticker comment and has nothing to do with applied audio.

It is juts your opinion but you are not interested in the subject of design parameters. The whole point of this thread is the design characteristic of hypothetically an ultimate turntable. You put yourself in some kind of special siting position but the fact that you “buy” TTs does not make you a valuable judge to evaluate conjectures regarding design parameters. You know well that there is a very big gap between making something from scratch and just using something.
