$56,000 Turntable with 4 arms is perfect for listeners with 8 ears

4armtable.jpg

While it might look like some new model for advanced DJ scratching, this ultra high-end turntable rig is kind of like the vinyl equivalent of having a Lamborghini,a Ferrari,a Porsche, and a Hummer parked in your garage. Truth is, some persnickety audiophiles feel that certain arms and cartridges work better with one kind of record than another, so by having four set up at once, you'll be ready to go no matter what the musical mood.

Built around a TW-Acustic Raven AC turntable with three motors, this rig shown at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest over the weekend, and was put together by Jeff Catalano from the über exclusive New York audio salon Highwater Sound. It includes arms from Breuer Dynamic, Graham Engineering, Triplanar, and Ortofon, along with cartridges from Dynavector, Ortofon, and Miyabi.

When we totaled up the price, it came to around $56,000, cables extra.
