Television > sets are a lot cheaper than they were in the seventies. Yep. >So people expect stereo systems to be cheaper too. Which of course they are in general. The VAST majority of people now spend far less of their money on audio, and the bottom end systems were always crap. Even CD's are FAR cheaper now than vinyl records ever were, in real terms. >Unfortunately it doesn't work that way; > transducer technology hasn't changed so much. But at least we don't need to spend a months wages on a phono cartridge now thankfully. (except for nostalgia buffs of course) Speakers are the only item that cost just as much for good ones, and the real good ones are better than ever. Dollar for inflation adjusted dollar at least. (and the crap is just as bad as ever) MrT.
