Default Ever heard an exotic high-dollar turntable playing LP's? Hugedifference? No?

If only audiophiles bought vinyl, the market would be so small you'd be
paying five or six times the current price for an LP, assuming it was
actually financially worth making them in the first place.


Which is what the market was like in the 1990s. It was a very limited
audiophile market, and the only records being pressed were special audiophile
pressings at five or six (or ten) times the current market rate. The
current craze has dropped prices a lot (although there are a lot of pretty
crappy-sounding discs being issued these days which would never have sold in
the 1990s too).
