Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones.


How about the $1500 plus ones?  Are they worth the money to people with more resources than me, or just for people who feel better about always paying a lot to try to have the best of everything?

Actually, I am not asking about rare collectables. Audio Advisors in WPB, FL has $1500 to $2500 newly issued LP's for their "modest" $25000 turntable. My question refers to this setup.  Do they really sound great, or are they simply listening room jewelry for the speaker wire on platinum speaker wire trestle crowd?
Yes, a fair price is what people will pay, but do the new $1500-2500 LP's definately sound better?  Also, I have been thinking about selling my LP's, but only after I listen and rate each.  The link shows me it is possible and I really took care of them. As far as the pressing quality, I can definitely appreciate the difference with my numbered, early Sheffield D to D LP's and later pressings.
They are not on their site, but in a back room when you veer left entering the store.  The room is open, so they are visible from the entry showroom. Maybe Chris could send you a list.  A couple are around his desk area.  Call Him.  (561) 478-3100
I believe these very expensive records are mostly new recordings, if not all of them.  I don't know if cheaper versions exist, but when we bought our Sheffield D to D LP's, no one told us that secret tapes were being stored  to use much later for releases on CD's much later.  It is interesting to hear the same recording played through a good phono set up and a good CD player.  I only have two.  The D to D has gotten worse for the wear.  The Cd is not so much, and is somewhat replaceable, or can be copied.
chackstera:  Apparenty, I was not clear enough.  The thousand dollar plus ones are not reissues, but new music. AA does carry both.  However, I know what sounds a lot better than a $1500-2500 LP:  A CD and a trip to France... after the vaccines is proven.
The turntable on display at the entrance is clearly marked $25,000.  It is really interesting looking and probably excellent.  On the other Jane, a stock Linn at my local dealer seems to be a plain Jame Ariston rip off, made famous as the Linn Sondek.
