SACD and/or DVD-A will gain wide acceptance, take over the market in the span of, let's say twenty years, and then some movement will be started by some deadbeat audio "journalist" claiming that Redbook was vastly superior and that the newer technology was a tangent, some luminaries will go back to Redbook, paying premium price for recordings and claiming that, despite the fact that so very few cd players were produced over those twenty years, the technology improved tremendously. The more adamant will rip off their shirt at the mere mention of SACD/DVD-A and will write up posts on whatever the net will be like then saying the whole bloody SACD/DVD-A mess was a conspiracy to rid the world of the more "mooooosical" cd. Marx predicted that and, oh, George W. Bush will be re-elected, will get the Constitution re-amended and will serve out seven terms. The last of his great moves will be to declare war on jellybeans since they are the root of all eeeeevil...
Is there a future for Redbook players?
I was thinking of upgrading my CD player and I thought about which direction I should choose, so I decided to do some research. Are separates still the way to go? Are new-fangled, all-in-one players the way to go now? Are redbook players even in production these days?
