RE: cd's - another 'dead', 'twilight' format

Posted by RGA on May 7, 2019 at 04:56:53:
I live in Hong Kong where space is at a hige premium - there are dozens of places selling CD and Bluray discs and shock - vinyl. In big shopping malls no less. And CD Vinyl are both still big in Japan and China.

Basically every pop release is still released on CD and Vinyl (mostly) - So dead is something I am not seeing in evidence.

Pioneer just released an over $1,100 USD Bluray player - so the stuff is out there. There are dozens of dedicated CD transports being made by all sorts of companies from Cambridge Audio, Woo Audio, Pro-Ject, AND Metronome, Audio Note, CEC at the higher end. - it goes on and on.

Several were recently posted (some by me) on this Steve Hoffman thread.
