When I have seen people listing their systems lately


I have noticed a lot of people using conventional CD players and SACD players. I remember being at an Audiophile club meeting a couple of years ago and the owner of the store claiming conventional CD players were dead and obsolete.


Are conventional players gaining in popularity nowadays or are they just stalling till digital becomes more standardized.

The UK market for LP’s continued after it had declined greatly in the U.S. Looks like the same is happening with CD/SACD. Maybe Brits and Europeans don’t feel like they have to be the first on their block to get the latest gadget the way we Americans tend to. I didn’t get an SACD player until last year, and am now buying SACD discs of music that both matters a great deal to me and feature particularly good sound.
