If I owned 3 CDs he might have a point. But if I were to repurchase my CD and LP collection, and it is modest by standards here, it would be much greater than my aggregate hardware cost. I believe this is true of the overwhelming majority of us.
A Little Hypocrisy?
How would you respond to the record company exec who say -
"I look on the Audiogon web site and I see people buying and selling $5,000 cd players, $10,000 speakers, even cables and wires for several hundred dollars per linear foot. Nobody complains about those kind of prices. Yet you complain about cd's costing fifteen to twenty bucks. What gives?"
I include myself in for this criticism, but I'd be fascinated to hear how anyone else would respond to this.
