I buy expensive equipment and cables. I don't like paying $15 for CD that's poorly mastered. I don't mind paying $25 for the same XRCD. If the recording industry could consistently give me good quality at $18 to $20 I would be happy. (I'd be happier still if I could buy really great vinyl at that price)
A Little Hypocrisy?
How would you respond to the record company exec who say -
"I look on the Audiogon web site and I see people buying and selling $5,000 cd players, $10,000 speakers, even cables and wires for several hundred dollars per linear foot. Nobody complains about those kind of prices. Yet you complain about cd's costing fifteen to twenty bucks. What gives?"
I include myself in for this criticism, but I'd be fascinated to hear how anyone else would respond to this.
