Internet music sellers

Anyone notice that the usual Audiophile sellers on the net have raised their

list prices and then discounted them. So to increase sales they have an eternal

sale going on to keep the volume up the only problem is there is no real sale price.

My complaint with them is TRUST and not feeling being taken advantage of.

I have many times asked sellers how is the sound quality of that particular release

and they always say it sounds great until it's delivered and I put it on my TT to

find out that the sound quality is not that great for $30-$50 (or more) record.

When I can buy a RVG remastered Blue Note cd for under $10 from a Amazon

sub dealer delivered that sound almost as good as a Music Matters vinyl for $40

you have to think about what's more important the music or the sound for the

difference in $30!!.

I often wondered its merits before switching to digital streaming last year. Now I can't imagine paying $30-$40 for remastered CD's or LP's. I see OP point, both elusive disc and music direct sites have ongoing sales offering 10% off overpriced CD/LP's.

Are they better than regular CD's. Thank you for the recommendation, I did check the website, good selection and shipping is reasonable too.

Thank you for your feedback.
