He should have just gotten the Sherwood. It has T/P mode and is black in color.

Listing and bragging about high end equipment is the foulest of SHitey behavior, but claiming you could spend someone else’s money more righteously by feeding the poor or buying back pappy’s farm just reads as bitter classism, to me anyway.

If I won the lottery I still wouldn't be as rich as Steve Hoffman. Hoofy is the George Bailey of the Internet ... and Ken Scott is Mr. Potter, at least in Hoofyville.

I'm not being righteous. I just laugh at the never ending quest for audiophile nirvana. It has nothing to do with the love of music and everything to do with chasing a non-existent pot of audio gold. He will keep spending money on more garbage and never be satisfied.

Those are some seriously hideous looking speakers he has there. I never cease to be amazed at the aesthetic nightmare that is "boutique high end" equipment. all of the designs, such as they are, look like they were dictated by a 15 year old Arab prince on a coke jag. Perfect description. And something about that picture looks artificial, like it’s a CAD drawing. I don’t get why ultra high end audio has to look like that. My favorite is turntables that are five figures and up. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that wasn’t hideously gaudy.

It's like a bejeweled butter churn.

Does that second one also apply mascara?

That's what happens when you feed a year's worth of Stereophile and Absolute Sound back issues into an AI program and let it go nuts on AutoCAD.

That Invictus turntable is just a few minutes from calling an architect about seriously getting a solid gold toilet.

The Invictus doesn't have nearly enough tonearms. If they can double it and add a solid gold butt plug record clamp, Brian Gupton might buy a couple of them for his bedroom system.

Butt plug burn-in is necessary.

Pretty sure the purpose of the Invictus is to show Thurston Howell III he's got nothing on you.
I've been thinking that most records have five songs on each side, so if the Invictus could have five arms, you could listen to all five songs at once, which would really save time on hot stamper shootouts.

I don’t think those turntables are meant for people to actually use them.

The Invictus looks like a hi-tech version of The Sybian
