What is $5,000 worth today, and is it better than 1,600 in the 80's?


Hey Everyone,
So I found this nifty inflation calculator:

So today if you spent $5k on a piece of gear, it's the equivalent of around $1,600 in 1980.

What do you all think. Is gear better or worse?  Does your modern day $5k buy you more or less gear than $1,600 did in 1980?

You said it rwortman, tin foil hat fiat currency nonsense  is about as rational as putting magic mats in your breaker box for electric conservation or better sound stage or some such lunacy.
