sounds to me like the pricing scheme is designed to
make mass home production prohibitively expensive.
That way they can put something on the market that's
not going to cut into anyone else's game. My guess
would be that if it stays around, the pricing won't
change dramatically because the market is relatively
small (vinyl addicts) who won't have the power to
drive the price down.
Somebody get Ralph Nader on the phone!!!
I'm really cuious about the quality too (what do they
mean "special blend??"), but I guess the big advantage
for pressing original material is that you control the
eqing yourself.
