I get ya. But when you do find a tape in top condition, you can make a high rez digital file from it that will still be superior to the original LP. Let's face it, even an ordinary 16/44 digital file will be superior in most cases, because the tape sounds at least a generation closer to the original master tape, as has been convincingly demonstrated to me with some superb sounding LPs.
A $150k system will squeeze more from the LP, but I don't see how you could ever make up for the difference in software.
A friend found one of those 15 ips decks in an antique shop in decent shape, and had it completely restored for a total investment of under $500. Yes, the tapes cost $300 each, so he only bought three of them. But if they came down in price, say to a mere $100 ...
