I didn't forget, it's just that most people are not going to (cannot) spend that kind of money for what is considered ultra-high end state of the art, which is itself is a turmoil of hair-splitting.
FWIW, when vinyl was in it's heyday, considering the quality of playback equipment most commonly used by the largest % of the record market, I wonder whether the LP's themselves were made to the high quality audio specifications, that eliteists believe they are hearing. I can hear a diffference between same vinyl and CD recordings, but how good is the vinyl, really? My point in starting the thread was to point out how wonderful I thought the vinyl media sounds after not listening to it for many years, not to hash out how to get the best sound reproduction at prices almost no one can afford. Let's face it, most people won't spend over $1000 on an entire home theatre system, much less for a single component like a turntable or cartridge. I'd have a hard time justifying $1000 for any single component. We all live with what we can reasonably afford within in our circumstances and if we are really into it, we get the best we can get within those constraints. Those contraints are different for each of us. Tom On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 12:10 PM, J.C.
