RAM shortages will never make vinyl more expensive. Anything digital requires a CPU to work.

AMPs: am I a joke to you?

RAM prices are such an infinitesimally small component cost of digital audio equipment that I can’t take you seriously here.

  • It was a stretch, so you're right to not take me seriously.

    I imagine any large about of RAM in audio equipment would strictly be for devices/functions that buffer large amounts of data as opposed to just decoding it.

    An old Akai S1000 sampler I had a long time ago had slots for memory modules (some weird proprietary slot IIRC), but that was a musical instrument, not really a player of any kind.
