- Well; yes I also listened to some new CD:s, but as I said: Most of the discs
- were discs that I had bought 7 or 8 years ago, which sounded AWFUL when compared
- to their LP counterpart. Now with the new CD players, they sound a lot better
- (or less bad....); some are even 'listenable'.
-
- Therefore my conclusion is that the new CD players have improved VERY MUCH
- over the old ones, which of course also let's me believe that the old players
- were B-A-D, and that the 'pure perfect sound forever' marketing hype was
- pure BS. And no, it didn't take this long for me to find that out, but the fact
- that new players seem better is just another evidence.
