CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

If the usability is the main reason people use CDs then digital files is far more superior, because you can listen forever and make playlist with the tracks you want to hear ignoring all the "bad" songs on the album you prefer to skip.

For the same reason lazy people just listening to the streming radio stations. For most of those people music is just a background in the headphones while in the subway or in the bus etc. 

Passionate collectors would love to put the record on the turntable and put the needle on the record for serious listening session. Vinyl is a whole different experience, different habit, different world.

CD is retired format of digital media, let’s face it

I’m a diehard vinyl fan, with thousands of records. 
I never really put much effort into CDs. Did appreciate the convenience of them, but didn’t really love the sterilizing.

However, when I hooked up my Oppo to my tube system (mac 275, mac 2200, Harbeth SHL5s) suddenly my CDs sounded pretty goddamned good. Something about the tubes that take the edge of the CDs, in my experience.

And SACDs are pretty mind blowing.

CD AND vinyl absolutely crushed by streaming. Sorry!

Suncore, you need to start your own thread. There is never enough "this was crushed by that" threads. Look forward to your post.
