But the only problem HiFi transducers now are the speakers. You can buy a good CD player for less than the cost of a phono cartridge alone, let alone a decent turntable or tone arm. And whilst a CD player is a "transducer" (optical to electrical) they are hardly the weakest link in the chain! And in fact microphones are now much cheaper in real terms as well, valve types excepted. I sure know what I was paying for SM58's 30 years ago compared to now!! :-) And let's not compare the cost of high quality recording devices and media !!!!!!!!!!!!!! MrT.
