    What does a £2,500 record sound like?

    What does one sound like.... some of your answer will be found here...

    Audiophile Pete Hutchison has gone to extraordinary lengths to reissue golden era classical recordings in their purest form. He talks to Killian Fox about the price of perfection, the 'digital con', and the sound of a truly analogue recording
    Digital Audio makes me Happy.

      I love the part about sourcing different pressing plants & the silk-cord binding.

      I can think of far worse things someone with more $ than they knew what to do with could find to 'waste' it on.

      Reminds me somewhat of the eccentric counterfeiters of both currency & art in the old days. A bit of romance in it all.

        The Counterfeiters is the true story of the largest counterfeiting operation in history, set up by the Nazis in 1936.

        Salomon "Sally" Sorowitsch is the king of counterfeiters. He lives a mischievous life of cards, booze, and women in Berlin during the Nazi-era.

        C2 vs. AVC-2500
