<p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Calculating the costs of vinyl=<br />
Superficially, investing in vinyl is a very good deal. If you assume that vinyl on average costs $5 less than the average CD, then even an audiophile-level system can be recouped in a few hundred records. But there are several complicating factors.<br />
* New vinyl releases are ''almost always'' more expensive than the equivalent CD releases. Only used vinyl is usually cheaper.<br />
* There's a large time commitment for vinyl, to clean it, maintain the turntable and possibly rip the vinyl to computer or CD. Time is money.<br />
* You're going to throw away at least 1-5% of your used vinyl purchases because they are unplayable for whatever reason (warping is the usual reason). <br />
<br />
For these reasons, if you're pursuing vinyl for financial reasons, make sure you have all the angles covered for purchases. Vinyl maintenance and upgrades can add up very quickly. -[[User:Axon]] 22 April 2006</div>Axon
