Yeah. Audio is crazy stupid. Clear Audio cartridges (some say) are really just overpriced AT (audio technica) junk. I will stick with Lyra, Soundsmith and air-tight. There are some that are 20k but ive never seen the clear audio jubilee this much. This is a Chinese scam probably.
Look up SAT tonearms and turntable.
VAC tube mono blocks.
Stupid money. It’s ridiculous.
I will admit though that I have 125k in my entire system.
BUT, it also sucks to be poor
And, yeah if it doesn’t sound good you dont know how to properly match your components.
Clear Audio is junk IMO. Hahaha.
