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.]

It's really common in the "HT" marketplace -- yes, the idea is that one'll upgrade to the new "best ever" technology from the old one slightly before (or just after) the component dies.
So far, redbook CDs are still extant (if on death's door) so I don't know of any CD technology that's gone obsolete since 1984 (except, I suppose, CD-I "interactive" CDs and Kodak's PhotoCD).
A couple of the more grizzled veterans still kickin' around here...
Both of the above, rather amazingly, are happy to play a burned CD-R.
all the best,
