CD no more produced?

Except dictated shops, the CD's are stopped selling on major shopping malls.
Due to unavailability of CD started looking  at streaming, finally selected Tidal, but I am not satisfied, Using Teac DAC, Spec RSA717Ex integrated amp paired with Dali speakers

And also downloaded few albums through paid service for Hiresaudio and  burned to CD, the quality of sound is not comparable with Music company produced CD's.
Have Music company's have stopped producing CD?

Best source for CD(s) and virtually all digital media can be found at https://www.secondspin.com/.

I most definitely agree that commercial CD(s) are much better than any streaming option that I've experienced, especially given all the very effective tweaks that are out there that can make a 'huge' difference in sound quality.

@n80, OK Ebay makes more sense. I agree with you on all points.

I get all my CDs from DeepDiscount.com, unless I buy them directly from artists at shows, looking for a specific box set, or they arrive from Dead.net.

I stream Tidal via Ethernet connection to Bluesound Vault 2, then Parasound JC2BP to A21 to Vandersteen Quatros. Very happy with sound.

I can't say I have the expertise to advise you but if you describe your streaming setup then those who do might be able provide suggestions for better sound.

Just FYI, most thrift stores and consignment stores (even Goodwill stores) stock CDs at cheap prices, usually less than two dollars. I recently found Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall” still sealed in plastic, for forty cents each. The selection is not as good as Amazon, but you can’t beat the price.
