Looks very nice, but 10,000 euros is absurd.

As they made only 95 pieces, they also have had ask 100.000€ for it, it would be sold in 3 months.

Those who will buy them do not know nothing about BG4000 and would pay any amount... 😮

I’m guessing most who buy it will be very familiar with the original 4000.

So now that nicotine color that I've spend hours cleaning off countless units, is now called Champagne as the latest fashion?
Brings my mind back to all the 1960s and 1970s homes where everyone smoked all the time.

Intended or nicotine, it still looks horrible.
I can almost smell it.

In the still-frame while loading the mini-movie at the top, where you only see the technician's rear, his cart rails looked like a walker!   "That's brutally honestly targeted marketing," thought I...  

Even once the first few frames played and it clearly wasn't a walker, I still, in my mind's eye, saw that grey-haired guy in a bathrobe with wizened hands, shuffling down a featureless hallway in an old-folks-home!  Was half expecting to see the "1984" girl with the hammer breaking thru.  Probably says more about me than about the marketing guru.  (Yeah, yeah, I get that it's supposed to mimic a hospital setting, pushing the patient into the surgery...  Humor, y'all.)

Actually I heard from reliable sources that the pickup is a top of the line Ortofon pickup, not just a refurbished MMC1. I guess we will see.

People buy 100 million GBP apartments in prime central London.

Just because the appartments sell, doesn't mean the prices aren't absurd.

Its not as if these refurbished 10k turntables will be worth 20k in ten years time.

So yes, if they sell all 95, they will feel justified, but doesnt stop the prices being absurd.

Only if they don’t sell them all at that price.

 

If they do it’s good marketing.
