What will become of my beloved CDs?

CDPs aren't going anywhere, soon. Check out this thread from A'gon:

Right now, for the price of a decent server (which will be obsoleted in about 6 months) you can get a CDP and DAC that can rival some of the best PC gear out there. Sure, it's kind of old fashioned but who cares?


All the best,

Get a top grade CD player such as Esoteric which will always be better than downloads sonically.

Only two good reasons for hissy poppy vinyl playback.
Very dirty and/or severely abused vinyl.
Poorly designed phono stage.

there ya go, pointing out the obvious......and I agree. Funny really that vinyl is STILL the standard to which all others are measured............All most people under 40 care about is portability. Few have ever been exposed to a  really good system, playing good music..........They have no idea and don't care.........You don't miss what you don't know about. Even funnier is that many of them will be downloading the newer hi-rez formats, listening to them on $50 ear buds, or budget desk top speakers and raving about how good it sounds............Funny and sad at the same time.............I must be getting old............OK, that's a given :)
