Usually, CD players becomes obsolete AND/OR just unreparable because of part sourcing and technology changes.Preamps and amplifiers should be less so.
Tube gear should be the easiest to keep going, although solid state gear is typically far more reliable in general.
[I've put CD Players out of their misery by taking them apart and preserving their power supplies. A/V gear, well, they may work, but can be obsoleted rather quickly. Usually craigslist takes care of these items.]
