I choose to have the band just play live in my space at that price. Bet I could impress more people by funding a live performance than acquisition of the Goldmund. To each their own.
I do have a big question about this unit: “WHYYYYYYYYYYYY???”
Because there are some with more $$ than sense.
Black, silver, both? What to do?
A fraction of the price of some turntables.
