Harman International CEDIA 2008 booth tour

Harman International is comprised of a great many companies, so it's no surprise that it took two CEDIA booths to hold 'em all. We took our trusty camera through the both of 'em to check out the latest from the likes of Infinity, JBL, H/K and Mark Levinson, and we spotted JBL's fresh LS Series, Infinity's wireless subwoofers / Prelude Forty and a $15,000 SACD player from Levinson that made Sony's new $1,500 SCD-XA5400ES look dirt cheap. Have a walk around, the gallery's right down there.

wow.what kind of retard is going to spend $15,000 on a cd player? especially one plays a dead format? seriously, even if this thing were made of solid gold, it still wouldn't be worth $15,000. no cd player is.

That's exactly what I came on here to say. It doesn't make any sense, even for a high end audiophile, to pay that kind of money for a CD player... especially when you can play the format on a Blu-ray player.

I really just don't get it.

Goldmund is even worse. They sell a SACD player for $50,000 and even sell turntable for $300,000. A TURNTABLE! For that kind of price I would expect them to build the house that the system sits in. I can't wait to see how hilariously expensive their Blu Ray player is. Clearly there are enough rich audiophile/videophile retards out there to keep these companies in business.

one of my neighbors has a very high end setup and when he plays a cd versus a record, the record blows the cd out of the water for quality. the sound is so much better. i never thought i would be able to hear it but i can. it's not just me either...non techie nerds have sat in front of that thing and have been blown away by the quality of his setup.
