Is frictionless operation in the Gabriel Turntable worth $64,000?

Tip for best answer: M$2.00

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The short answer to this question is no. I don't think we have any music that is recorded to such high standards to warrant this kind of treatment. The weak spot in our music isn't in the turntable, it is poorly shielded wires and the cheap electronic noise we play over otherwise good music. In the days of synthesized instruments and heavy compression this turntable is useless.

Also see this youtube video.

The sort of music that audiophiles listen to does not involve synthesized instruments or compression. They listen to classical music, jazz, etc.

Very true, but audiophiles still take the quality of components more seriously than the original recorders likely did and that makes little sense.

And don't forget that there are still many individuals that think they are audiophiles because they buy monster cables.

In response to ssharon's comment, I had some really good comments on my Monster Cable question. See the link below.

In my opinion, no. My first instinct was to ask who would want to buy any sort of turntable today. Wouldn't any advantage from such equipment be nullified by the imperfections in the vinyl that cause those pops and scratches?

While insane for a consumer, this might be a good buy for a company transcribing old vinyl records to digital mediums.
