Hmph.  The Dead in prime time (New Years, a loooong show) have barely hit
$25.  A decent opera ticket in Denver is >= $50.  $15 is closer.

If you're gonna figure cost, figure transportation too (amortizing the cost
of the car just as you amortize the cost of a cartridge).  You should also
figure in insurance and/or theft probability for the ultra-hi-end audio
system--and for the car parked in the nasty high crime district in the
center of the city that you have to go to for substantial live music.
