Worlds most expensive changer

I don't normally post threads like these, but this guy really likes his SL-D500:link here

I think he actually belives that it is worth what he is asking.

In case that link goes dead for whatever reason, here's the full text of the post:
TURNTABLE also plays album stack - $1200 (Chicago)

BRAND NEW, in original unopened factory-sealed box. SL-D500

This is the only Turntable I know of, Direct Drive with heavy Platter, NOT a flimsy Record Changer, that also can automatically and carefully play a stack of record albums!!!

This is also probably the only BRAND NEW SL-D500 Turntable in existence today from an inventory of my past audio business. Do you know of any other turntable which was uniquely designed to accommodate a stack of record albums in addition to just playing one at a time? Leave it to Technics to had come up with such a product! And please keep in mind that I find because the outer edge of record albums are slightly raised, the grooves of record albums laying on top of each other don't touch.

For a music lover and/or collector who is able to afford $1,200, and wants to play continuous music with a stack of record albums, this asking price is a bargain while I still have it. Cartridge with stylus $45.

It has a professional tone arm with Counter Weight, Viscous Damping, and Anti Skating Adjustment. Fine tuning Speed Control. Transparent Cover. What more can I say. It's a pleasure to look at and play. My personal stereo system has this same SL-D500.

If interested, please respond with your name and phone number.

Thank you.

I've seen Linns, Regas, Empires, AR's and nearly every other Technics ask for less on Chicago CL.

the funny thing is - the people that tend to spend that kind of money on a turntable also turn their noses at record changers in general...
 
I'd spend that kind of money on this changer:

I was thinking the same thing.

sberger, that's a nice looking Thorens, and probably a better contender for the "world's most expensive changer" title. It looks like a cousin to the TD 124.
 
Don't forget the additional $45 for the cartridge and stylus; they must be great ones for that price.
 
how can he show pics when it in a new and still sealed box? must be the same magic that will get him his asking price, in effect.
 
He says his personal stereo has the same SL-D500, I suppose that's what the pictures are actually of.

I guess he has two and just really likes the one he uses. Still, I'm not sure how he came to that price.
