This "cost" thread made me think of when I purchased my Paragon 1 back
in 1990.   (The Paragon is a good radio, but not in the category of an OMNI 
VI!)
With two filters and a DB25 cable for interconnection to the Herc II
amp the Paragon cost me $2650.
I did the "inflation calculator" and see that in 2002 dollars (the calc 
would not
handle 2003 or 4)  the amount would be $3692.46.   So, what's new under the
sun?   The Orion is really "moderately" priced.....

Thank you, TT!   (this might convince me to order mine now rather than 
later!)  :-)
