20th Anniversary of CD Today

I am one of those that is glad there was the invention of the CD.

I purchased my first player in '86 I believe, a Sony CPD-45 and I believe my first disc was ZZ-Top, Afterburner.

We all have our likes, dislikes, interests and disinterests, LP's are not for me. As I kid, I grew up using records and LP's, when you didn't realize you should take care of them, but I cringe at the thought if I had to use LP's today.

Don't misunderstand me, I don't doubt their performance potential, it's just not for me.

As for cost as mentioned above, I would "think" a cheaper CD player would sound better than a cheaper phono.

Love those silver dics! My first CD player was something SAE 01 (?). Bought in the late 80's, and still kicking :-).

So, uh, should we throw a party or something? Not.

Err, I am going vinyl! Hope My old Microseiki TT still work.Oh, it did, yesterday. Hmm, I going CDs tomorrow then ;-)

Lugnut, I would prefer a wake but as we can see some people like the CD so unfortunately it's demise is still a ways off.
