The issue though is that, if people here are right and you can only get 3-600 hours on a $400 cartridge, then that makes quality listening an indefensible generator of waste. Either quality cartridges need to get cheaper, or cheap cartridges need to get better.
FWIW, my grandfather predated vinyl. My father however sold records and turntables in the 60s and 70s, mainly to people who didn't have very much money. He would be shocked at the inflation-adjusted prices of the things he sold in the day.
