Cd's to make a come back in the future?

Clutter is very bad for the sound. The objective is, in a manner of speaking, to reduce entropy as much as you can. The system will sound a whole lot better in a relatively empty room than a room filled with CDs, LPS, videos, Books, TV, cell phones, iPad, magazines, etc., scout’s honor. ✌️Note media and communications devices especially. 

"  The system will sound a whole lot better in a relatively empty room"

True. And for the serious audiophile just physically being in the room represents a conundrum.

I get total satisfaction from the LISTENING TO of the music.
I honestly could not care less its source as long as it is musical and sweet to my ears.
And at the end of the day that is ALL that matters.
I regularly listen to CD, cassette tape, vinyl and streaming.
I do not try and compare any of them to each other, total waste of time.
Just enjoy your music people no matter what the source.

Or if you listen whilst having an out of body experience.

There is some good sh1t out there for that kind of experience....so i am told.

This interesting article on some musicians' preference for cassettes appeared in my local daily rag today:

Nice.

But not news to me... lol

Been a huge cassette user and advocate for years.

Never dumped my original stash of tapes and add to the collection on a daily basis.
thrift shops between fifty cents and dollar each.
our lrc does them at $2 each.

A good tape on a good player just sounds so musical.

My roommate in college had a Nakamichi dual tape deck (not the dragon). We were into cassettes in a big way. Saved our money for the highest quality tapes.

I don't have any of them now.

Listened to them in the car a lot and found that car cassette decks were hard on them.

@n80. I learned the hard way early on what a cheap car player could and would do to a prized tape.....

I found a very good fairly priced player by Panasonic and that was all I ever fitted in my cars for years.
Of course then that darn CD came along and stole the show ,made it very difficult to even buy a new car cassette player.

I often thought my car cassette system sounded better than my home LP system in many respects. More dynamic, more coherent, much more entertaining. Of course, there are some good reasons why that would be so. Battery power, crossover-less speakers, nearfield listening, seismic isolation provided by shock absorbers. Besides, tape is a natural medium. It breathes.
