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

But seriously I have been taken aback of late by the sq from my old oppo  bdp80 used as a transport fed into the bnc  input of my Ayon tube dac.

Has me rethinking cd right now.......

Just when you thought it was safe to turn out the light......

Unfortunately bits of the tape tend to get stuck in your teeth......

@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.

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.

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.

I do not think I could ever or would even like to entertain the idea of just playing vinyl or just playing cd or just streaming.

Sorry but I want the whole 9 yards and mostly have it.

Only thing missing right now is a r2r unit and I am sure the itch will make me buy one sooner or later.

One experiment I am going to try this morning is to record a 24/96 stream to my Nak cassette deck and see how it sounds on playback.

Lalitk.
Think you dumped the wrong medium. Lol.

My Nak 582 gets a workout every couple days, today it had Siamese Dreams playing through it.
$2395 is somewhat steep but maybe it is just right for someone.

CDs need to fade away before they can stage a comeback.
They are nowhere near the “ extinction “ level that vinyl was at.
I do not see them ever reaching the same state that vinyl did or  indeed ever reaching the same status as vinyl has.

I am sure this has all been said before with vinyl.
However the big difference is I do not think there will ever be any nostalgia attached to CDs.

And not many are going to achieve the almost cult status of numerous vinyl audiophile recordings.


I do not think will make a comeback simply because they have not really disappeared to any extent as vinyl did.

Heck I still play a lot of CDs in the car.
