LOL. I’d have to request a … ahem … increase in my credit card limit. By roughly a mere 100x or so. ---

This is the table I probably get when I win the lottery. I care for the sound more than anything. Only $150k. The Walker Proscenium Black Diamond V. ![thumbnail-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/0/0/00f4f7efed5a0e802fed630e225747afc11ecb5e.jpeg) ---

Yup. Saw that X-Files contraption as well poking around on the web, spurred by this thread. Not sure what someone was thinking with that saucer shaped … whatever. Another TT for which the aesthetics have to be considered an acquired taste. I’d take a pass, again like the Dereneville, just not my cup of tea. ---

You would hope. But upon close inspection of the tonearm I have some doubts. The fun thing is, they will sell you this same turntable for less if you are fine with only one tonearm. [shudder} I hope they don’t make other products… ---

Yes sir, I did. They don’t look like the Renegade. Like I wrote above, I most likely wouldn’t install a cartridge. I consider it art. (plus I already have two splendid turntables already) ---

Yes, the tonearm looks like they slapped it together from parts they found in the junkyard, but the overall looks does look like abstract art. probably don’t want to know what it sounds like though. Too bad, nice price anyhow. ---

I would suspect there are several more tables that would fit in the $12,500+ realm. First to come to mind are the VPI HW-40 Anniversary which is $15,000 and the VPI Avenger Reference at $20,000. There also is the VPI Vanquish, but I’m not sure if it truly available and price is fuzzy, though may be around $120K. ---
