Regardless of how much something costs, buyers like to think they are "getting something for the money". In this case, of course, the buyer needs to be  think this is "the best" TT, at least for long enough for the check to clear.  What does "the best" mean?  Well, the problem for sellers here is to convince buyers to want the TT enough to offer the amount of money the sellers will actually accept.  If the thing actually "sounds good", who would be able to establish this conclusively? It is enough for sellers to get the money, I think; and enough for buyers to believe they own "the best".  That all the foregoing has nothing to do with a "least approach" to design and implementation driven by aesthetic listening is well noted. But then, who really does it this way, anyhow? Certainly nobody in the "high end".
