...john is right that the meaningful comparison is what comparable products cost, although inflation-adjusted pricing is a nice novelty.some things actually come down in price.
that said -- john...do you still simply listen to LPs because you have so much software already in that format? do you ever buy LPs today (new), or are you CD-only for anything that comes out in that format?
i see you post tons of good info on analog playback, but i also see you consistently say how CDs are better.
(i like records as an experience, and i do tend to agree with you that digital playback, as a medium, is not flawed when we are able to make our own CDs on a masterlink that still sound amazing -- it's more likely an issue of people who were inexperienced with the digital medium doing early, hasty mastering and it's sad that reputation has stuck.)
