The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation
jssmith ... it holds some kind of status, in-the-know or hip factor, otherwise all LPs would be at the dump with all the other obsolete technologies.There are reasons to buy LPs other than the status you imagine they possess. Why else would you spend thousands of dollars on a turntable, cartridge and tens or hundreds of LPs on a technically inferior, inconvenient and space-consuming medium when the same money would give you 10-20 years of streaming millions of albums?This is the logical fallacy of "begging the question," also known as circular reasoning. To understand why some still buy LPs, you might consider auditioning a high-end LP playback system at a local dealer. Then you might have an idea of what's possible with LP playback. |

No one here should have to justify or alter his preferences to suit the sensibilities of measurementalists such as yourself. And his preference has at least the same value to others here as yours, and perhaps much, much more. |
