Tightwads
There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

£2000 to play a record? What's wrong with a CD player?

Far more than £2000 my friend
In order to actually play the record, you also need arm, record deck itself, phono stage and for this particular cartridge a step up transformer (not as cool as it sounds). This happened a little while ago but I think the miser's deck was about £7k all up.
It does however sound and look a hell of a lot cooler than any CD player.
