David,
everything is clear now. What is a "dealer" supposed to say? What does a dealer have to do to "capture" their markets? How does a "dealer" behave on a forum dedicated to applied Sound and not commerce. It should be apparent from ALL of the responses that you received that your reality is simply yours and does leave plenty of room for doubt as to motive and ultimate goal.

My suggestion before posting again is to spend some time looking around at how things work here. You simply got off to a bad start because you didn't test the waters before jumping in. We are not interested in dealer speak. The issue here was NEVER the price tag per say, rather the assumption that a state of the art turntable built in the automotive industry or any other "competitive" environment would be calculated much differently. We understand that you can not publicly undermine the industry price points. Your credibility as a dealer would be comprimised if a 20K turntable offered everything that the AF1 does.

So in your world you do fine with your situation, but have received no applaud here. That perhaps should tell you something. We never had a pissing contest. You simply never answered direct questions, rather defended the price point - important for a dealer but for many of us definitely not so interesting.

I do not question your ability to give your customers some kind of value for their investment. That value may be Sound (the only real issue here), it may be confidence that they did the right thing, it may simply feed a geek drive or the idea that they bought the "ultimate" and at that price no one can question the results. All points (and many more) are valid but not what this site is about.
Good luck
