Take it from someone who has run a small record company for the last few
years: small runs of CDs are NOT economical. While mastering an LP usually
costs somewhere in the $250-$500 range, making the digital reference tape
(not DAT) for CDs is much, much more expensive. The one CD I have produced
cost me nearly two-thousand dollars in pre-manufacturing fees, while the
equivalent LP was under one thousand.
