Current CD playes and transports


Why do sellers of cd players and transports think they can price their units 40-50 percent of the original list when in less than a year almost all units will be rendered obsolete. Get real and price them accordingly.

The only ones who will tell you the new stuff is better than anything that came before are audio salesman trying to pay the rent. FM Tuners are a perfect example. They have overall, except for a few exceptions (and these are mostly mucho $$$$), gotten worse over the last 40 years.
Elizabeth has a point on DACs. There are some DACs though that may not be 24 or whatever bit, but they still sound better. Having a good balanced analog like sound with good timing does not require 24bit resolution. As far as transports, they will not go obsolete very quickly.
Yeh, and Betamax is better than VHS. Apple Mac operating system better than Windows. The best format does not alway win.
