A mono pair of CH Precision M10s ($210,000/pair as reviewed) declares its presence in capital letters.

While the "lighter" amplifier unit weighs almost 117lb, the toroidal transformer–based power supply unit tops out at nearly 172lb. That's a lot of metal.

Spin Doctor #35: The Supatrac Nighthawk tonearm

When people ask me what I do for a living, I reply that I'm a turntable setter upper. That seems to me like it should be descriptive enough, but it typically results in follow-up questions that have me explaining a whole audiophile subculture that few nonaudiophiles even realize exists.
