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

chakster is right, we need to distinguish between record collectors and audiophiles. I actually hadn't even thought about that. I assumed the OP was talking about new ultra-audiophile issues where the specialized and limited pressing drives the price sky high.

If you know which lps are worth it or not i do it took me over 30 years to learn and i am still not an expert.good luck.

You need to buy a new keyboard

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?

This is absolutely insane, but we’re all know how many sick people are audiophiles.

Musicians are not crazy, their records are for everyone and they are $10-15 new.

Original records are better than reissues, only extremely rare records (impossible to find mega rarity) can cost $1500-2500 because only handful of copies left on this planet, actually those rare originals can cost even more, but not a repress in whatever "audiophile" quality.

Making reissues for $1500 is a ripoff!
