Subject: RE: CDs are Dead / Gone / Exist No More ...
The classical, baroque and older music I mostly buy is only available on cd. No Alia Vox, Harmonia Mundi, etc. for download.
My library of cds continues to grow. Excellent sound equipment is available, and I have recently bought new speaker systems. Downloaded material is poor in frequency range, but I suppose OK for popular and folk music (also have a fair collection of the latter on cd). Some excellent re-mastered old jazz albums being issued on cds.
"The young guys at the office ...." New iphones and such have excellent frequency response, but I prefer to listen comfortably ensconced in my body-friendly armchair, across the room from the best speakers that I can afford.
