"Vinyl is analog...it will stay......CDs are Digital, so are Hard Drives.....The CD is Dead!"
Finally someone gets it! Exactly what I have been saying from the start. The only reason we still have vinyl hanging around is because it was the best analog technology. The CD WAS the best digital technology up until now. We are at a turning point here.
The people saying that computer based systems never did for them either assumed that the CDs would sound better and so they did or they were doing it wrong. I promise you that a USB based DAC starting at around the 1k price point on a properly configured PC will beat out all but the most exotic $$$$$ CD players.
So yeah, right now there is still a niche for plastic discs at the high end, but as people continue to loose interest they will sell for less and less and eventually find their way to Goodwill. Maybe someday a once 20k CD player will end up on the same dusty shelf as a once $600 DVD player, $700 VCR, or $900 professional 8 Track recorder.
