Why CD players will never be dead

Steve I think you may have a valid point for me on this topic.

Thanks

Bill

If we are strictly answering the question, then CD players will never be dead as long as you need a door stop.

Along with cassette,mini disk and DAT confined to history. RIP

hi steve:

i suggested that a test be constructed between a cd player of my choice versus a digital front end of your choice. i did not
suggest comparing transports.

i would conjecture that your design philosophy diverges from my audio preferences.

you may recall that i visited your room several times when you exhibited at the st. tropez.

"When I look at the shelves of CDs it allows me to browse in a different way than any computer graphics can give me. I'm the sort of listener that seldom knows what I want to hear until I browse.”

That’s very understandable Irv. Why not just leave your CDs displayed as they are; then you can browse any way you want.

I'll wait for on demand streaming downloads to mature into a viable option. No way, never in my lifetime will I rip 1000's of cds onto a hard drive. Till then I will continue to enjoy rotating cd players of different sonic merits. Modifying each to my satisfaction.
