The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation

n80, I've been around awhile, I was at the Dead Sea when it died, and I was at the Red Sea when they dyed it Red. CD's are the best thing to come along since.......you name it.

Having said that I'm currently into "analog", but my cartridge costs as much as my CD player, plus you need a TT, plus phono Pre, plus expensive NOS tubes, and we ain't even got into the high price records to hear some music. And if you don't have all that stuff set up perfectly, you still ain't got squat.


Don't let nobody BS you, unless you come into a lot of loose change, you keep on doing watcha doing because I still do what you're doing.

For those who are claiming analog sounds better; yes it does, but at a much higher price.

No, you think it sounds better to you. That is completely meaningless to other people..

@orpheus10 Its all good. I stream. I got CDs. I got CDs ripped on a server. No reason other than cash to limit ourselves. For me, cash and complexity are the barriers that keep me from vinyl. Not some notion that the other options are better or worse. Its all good.

When we are talking about "High end analog" as compared to routine CD, it sounds better to most people.


In "high end analog" we are speaking of depth of "sound stage", we are speaking of "air" around the instruments, we are speaking of a "holographic sound stage"; that's what I'm speaking of that sounds better to most people, and not just me. But maybe that wouldn't sound better to you.
