How much would you pay for a turntable? I'm not talking about those all-in-one mini-case jobs where the speakers clipped on over the spindle and you could carry it from room to room by the handle - just so you could drive your grandparents nuts with the 45rpm version of 'Black Betty'.
Younger people might be wondering what the hell vinyl is but for many audioheads, the old LP is still the gold standard for music representation. Bornrich has compiled its Top 10 list of the most expensive turntables, and some of them cost a bob or two alright.
With the £9,500 Teac VPI HR-X1 coming in tenth, you can see just how expensive things are going to get. In fact, top of the list sits the appallingly expensive, Goldmund Reference II at around £150,000.

Gonna do me some scratching on a pair of Goldmund Reference II
Quality has no substitute. Vinyl has a scratch. But it is the Best. Take it in line to Tape and you get rid of the hiss. Do not take it to Disc--it is Too Cold. I buy the Best.
