Tonearms: Ripoff?

People have been spending billions on ’dying children in some part of the world’. for well over 75 years... It hasn’t even made a tiny dent. What happens is the life they save yesterday, needs saving today, and tomorrow, and the day after and the day after, then the babies those folks you had been saving for twenty years decide to make more babies to be saved... IT does not end. You just keep endless people on the edge of starving, you feed them today, you feed them forever.
I have no problem if YOU want to do that. But do not ask me to join you in your folly. I am betting in your mind you CAN save the World. I am certain I cannot even begin. Two people die EVERY SECOND.. most ugly horrible deaths. Face it. While I typed ONE HUNDRED people died. How many did you save? Do you think you made a dent in DEATH?

I said "help" not "save", how many $50k tonearm have you bought in your life? You don't even know what the tonearm is and why people are buying them, according to one of your post. So chillout and play with your automatic turntables. Your feelings about human life is very well described in your post. 

P.S. At least i know for sure than Michael Fremer do charity, Peter Ledermann do charity too. But some rich audiophiles are mentally sick and need help too. I can not seriously discuss $75k tonearms or $200k turntables, this is some sort of illness and it has nothing to do with the love to music. 

     

""and has nothing to do with the love of music""
Neither does whining about others not being ’charitable enough’..How do you calculate all these folks you have no knowledge of 'charity'. And who put YOU in charge if it? Worry about YOURSELF instead of whining about people you do not even know.                   
It is particularly annoying to read your drivel on an audio site. You should save it for sites which address the topic, instead of here.

@elizabeth I do worry about myself, i do not buy $50k tonearm or any audio equipment with this price tag, i am not rich and do not pretend to be elitist audiophile. I don’t drink "Château Latour" and don’t drive Ferrari car. But i am considering myself a music lover and record collector, i don’t need $50k to enjoy music, my whole system cost less than $50k with 6 first class tonearms in rotation and about 20 cartridges. When i watch reports from the modern audio shows all i see is uber ugly overpriced equipment and absolutely awful music reproduced on them, in my opinion these people have no taste (just money). I’ve noticed than many distributors knows nothing about cartridges, this industry with its marketing departments forced rich people to spend more and more on audio equipment, i am happy to ignore this nonsense.

These guys reminds me those record nerds who can spend $12 000 on one single rare record in VG condition to play it on $100 equipment. The only difference is that most of the audiophiles normally playin horrible music on their audiophile pressing LPs with $70k tonearms and $200k turntables. Those two group of people deserve each other in this crazy world. At least record nerds have great and interesting music. If it's all for the music, then the music must be great first and then everything else. 

If my posts are annoying for you for this reason then do not read it.

But i have no idea what do you contribute on this site, any usefull information about analog gear for others?
