Are CD players dead

Buconero: "love to fondel the case". I'll remember not to buy used CDs from you:) Seriously, I have my recently purchased Naim cd555/ps555, bought here. "THE" upgrade talked about on the Naim Forum is to add an extra ps555 (power source), which I plan to do/try. At this moment Ebay has over 152,000 CD's for sale in the jazz category alone. For me, CD players will be alive as long as I am...

I agree with Mapman's summation. As long as TT's are alive, CPD's will be as well. The abandonment of a particular format is one's personal decision. Don't fall off the turnip truck in attempt to jump on the next bandwagon!
