In Reply to: What happened to discussions of regular CD players posted by gonzo on March 18, 2023 at 20:16:47:
Why would there be any discussion of CD players in a world where we have multiple optical formats and a few far more versatile options to play back all of those formats using one machine?
The only reason would be if a CD player offered something over the other options in the way of better performance. But they don't. Even the CD players that color the sound deliberately (or accidentally) offer nothing over more modern and more versatile and less expensive means of doing the same thing without a dedicated CD player.
