Alright, so I got my record player back up as I left it for months trying to decide if the TechMoan approved scale was worth the sheer minutes of use was worth it. I got it, fixed my counterweight and blindly tried to get anti-skate to something useful, so at this point, I’d say things are as good as they can be with a midrange Pioneer PL-300 record player.
Regarding prices on records, I understand they will cost more than a CD or digital download, what is outrageous and normal regard prices for new records from new release music or even stuff that has been around, but it’s not new or all that old? For example, I’d like to buy a Diablo Swing Orchestra (DSO) or Nightwish album but feel they may be pricing those due to demand rather than realistic prices. Plastifisticuffs for example from DSO is listed on The Amazons for $21.59. Is that normal to be spending in the $20 range for a record? I could be out of touch.
