When I have seen people listing their systems lately


I have noticed a lot of people using conventional CD players and SACD players. I remember being at an Audiophile club meeting a couple of years ago and the owner of the store claiming conventional CD players were dead and obsolete.


Are conventional players gaining in popularity nowadays or are they just stalling till digital becomes more standardized.

tonykay, spot on !
Marketing in USA is a very large business whose primary task to to create a need where none exists .
I have friends in the UK and it's a different story there. Everybody still buys CD's and back catalogue's are plentiful. Looking at Amazon.UK is a wonderland full of Rock and Classical CD's.
if people only bought what they wanted and/or needed, this economy would collapse very quickly...
I left out all the new and old jazz CD’s available in the UK. Amazing.
Digital downloads are biggest in the US.
