Are CD players dead

I agree with Mapman's summation. As long as TT's are alive, CPD's will be as well. The abandonment of a particular format is one's personal decision. Don't fall off the turnip truck in attempt to jump on the next bandwagon!

Not trying to scare anyone. Just think that in your zeal to
put Ultimatum on CD Format, not stopping to think of
possible consequences. History shows the switching of Formats overlapping. This will be the first of deliberately creating a vacuum between the end of one Format, and the lack of the beginning of the next (certainly in area of Music selection). Don't know what the
hell is going to happen. Maybe you should be afraid of only
Format left for your New Music ends up being MP3! People are gonna go where the Music selection is-verrry risky!

Back in the 80's I couldn't afford a Nakamichi cassette deck. Now I have three of their best models. It's amazing what a few decades can do! I hope CD players die. When they do, I'll pick up that dcs Scarlatti for $10 at the
Goodwill store. Maybe I'll get an Accuphase too...yeah,
that's right, an Accuphase and a Wadia-maybe two each!

Tonykay, LOL!

3o years from now yes. Dead. Behind the times already. TT still ahead.
