I'm thinking that youngsters are getting burned .

I was thinking that youngsters and the financially challenged are getting burned by the audio press. Do they know that they can have music in the home cheaply? A Rega-Planar 3(or according to some, a Music Hall turntable) and maybe 20 pre-1982 albums will get music in the home, period. You don't have to have the big bucks. What I would like to discuss is those 20 albums. The idea came to me as I was listening to Gerry Rafferty's "City to City". I would include 3 Beatles' albums, their White album, "Abbey Road", and "Magical Mystery Tour"(don't buy these from a store-too expensive.). I have, at least, a class C cd player, and I suggest that you can get music cheaper.

I don't understand about kids getting a bad break. A teenager plunks down a couple hundred dollars and carries around several thousand songs downloaded / swapped for free.

In the mid 70's, a couple hundred bucks would get you maybe a combo am/fm phono piece of junk that sounded a little better than a decent table radio.

What was written about in the audio mags of that time was just as unaffordable to the average teen as what it is today.
