Why CD players so expensive when the fomat is dead
Please explain to me why CD players are still so expensive, considering even the giant Wal-mart has announced they will stop CD sales due to lack of $$ support..It cant be supply and demand!
I just payed $2,700.00 for a Bryston BCD-1 CD player and have around 300 CDs. The CD format is far from dead. I also have roughly 5,000 LPs. 8 Tracks, now there's a dead format.
3000 CDs and counting...use a MAC pro and dac/headphone amp for my headphone rig. CD dead ? - what a laugh. Its a format that will be around for atleast another 20 years in some way or another. If the downloading crap takes off bigtime with audiophiles... the ones resisting the change will still be able to buy CDs on Ebay and the net for decades to come if they are happy with the sound.
