Marc Maron said on his podcast once he has wanted one of these his whole life. He goes to hang out with Jack White and Jack has 50 of em. He thinks to himself well if Jack has 50 of em surely I can afford one. Ran down to record store, realized he couldn’t and bought something else(can’t remember what he got).

“At some point in the last two years, I got a renewed interest in playing records. I'd had turntables before, and I had a box of records that I'd been carting around since high school. I always knew in the back of my head that records had more integrity than digital music. I went to interview Jack White at his place in Nashville, and he's a real analog guy. He had these Mackintosh tube amps, and I got hung up on the idea of getting a tube amp, but the ones Jack had were $15,000. There was no way I could spend that kind of money on stereo equipment and enjoy it; I'd always be thinking, does this sound like $15,000? I don't think so.”

That’s one quote about them but another time he went into talking about how he had so many surely he could afford one.

Either way I fucking love Marc Maron.
