and this thread only helps to reinforce why i can't afford to get into vinyl. Sure, i could buy an awesome turntable/tonearm/cart and phono pre, but once i had to start buying albums..... :(
There have been many threads at Audiogon where people discuss paying $200.00, $300.00 and more for CD's or SACD's. When a particular piece of software is rare and difficult to find, the price gets inflated.
Don't let the price of one LP discourage you. For every $300.00 LP, there are tens of thousands for .25 cents to five bucks.
