Are CD players dead

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.

Slow down and get a grip on the CD Format. Why the Ultimatum? SACD, DVD-Audio, Hi-Rez. DVD Audio, MLP DVD
Audio Multi-Channel, SACD Multi-Channel, all have been
abandoned and replaced with MP3. You are going to end up
adding High Rez. Computer Audio Downloads onto that pile if
you hand off the CD Market to MP3. High Rez. Downloads don't have the selection to remotely compete with MP3. Pulling CD removes last stumbling block to MP3. Everything else with extreme low selection ends up circling the drain.
Bad idea bursting MP3 dam by blowing CD-standby for Flood!
