On November 19, manufacturer Linn Products held a press conference in London to announce that they are ceasing the production of CD players.
They have maintained their focus on server based system controllers. With the improved data streaming and the ever changing format of digital technology, doesn't this sound like once again Ivor Tiefenbrun is leading the way when the common wisdom is not quite there yet?
Remember back to the late seventies, Ivor was there doing demos when many, many an audiophile was of the belief that the turntable had little or nothing to do with the sonic quality.
Do you feel we're their (yet)? Or that the rest of the industry (aside from our Scottish friends) is seeing this as a paradigm shift, dropping the red book CD?
I had a Linn Unidisc 1.1 and it was amazing. That said, I don't have it anymore, it was replaced (after another reference disc player) with a turntable as my source of choice after 25 yrs without one.
