Are CD players goig the way of the 8 track,and the cassette?


Streaming seems to be gradually pushing the CD player into extinction.My CD's are in the closet,and may never return!

But to join reality.

I started a thread a while back that the main gist of it was of my local WalMart having stopped selling CD,s period.
Nobody seemed to concerned at that time either.

Pretty funny though as that same Walmart now stocks a fair selection of vinyl.......
When the Camaro was totalled In 1978 the 8 track kept playing as the smoke rose... took it out and put it in my 73 Skylark. Yeah sure miss that Camaro
As luck, or the lack there of, happens I was preparing for an evening of listening as I was preparing to insert a new Sain pc into my system. I was going to start with a few favorite tracks and then make the switch to identify any immediate changes, Unfortunately, my DAC elected to crap out for one reason or another and I was left with my Nal CR7a as a source as I did not want to stream through my Dynalab 809.

I spent the night listening to tapes that were made some 20 years ago and from memory of the original CD's no discernable difference in SQ.

Cassettes dead...I think not, they saved the day...
I have a 67 Mustang that went through a 6 1/2 year restoration, I occasionaly take it for a ride.
the suspension wasn't much better than the same year Camaros, so that got a few levels upgrade...
the original radio was long gone so put an alpine cd player in it's spot with an extention cable for ipods in the glove compartment, It sounds just ok as the speakers are all the way in the back, one of these days I'll try a couple of speakers in the doors...
funny enough,
a couple years back in a Mustang gathering, saw a 65 that had an original lp player under the dash! I think it played 7" lps, but can't imagine what would happen going over bumps and all...
