As an example of what you discussed, in the mid 80s, our soundman bought a digital delay. (Eventide) it was 12 bit and he paid a grand.
Four year Four years later, the band added a digital reverb. It was 16 bit and we paid a bit over $800.
Then around 10 years after thar, I bought a digital reverb/delay, (separate modules). I bought 2 actually; one for my keyboard rack, the other for my guitar rack.
24 bit and I paid $900 for both.
4096 times the resolution & 72dB more dynamic range for under half the cost over just about a dozen years.
Another example is that the Minimoog reissue is actually $50 less in 2024 dollars than the original was in 1970 dollars!
