Mastering LP (10"/12").... 260 DEM for both 45 rpm and 33 rpm Replication 100 200 300 400 500 1,000 2,000 LP (10"/12") 2.73 2.27 1.86 1.71 1.43 1.32 1.29 100 records would be 533 DM, 500 records would be 975 DM that's 1,105 DM for each next record above 100 (in case of 500). you have to add other costs which also are always there like transport, etc. which make the difference even smaller. _______________________________________________ forcefield | mindless entertainment http://wwwedu.cs.utwente.nl/~wielen/forcefield/
