Hey all,
 
Is there still any interest in CD players at all?  I just discovered I have a sony D-NE20 lying around, and it made me wonder if any of you folks are still using CD players?  I remember when I first got this thing it was cutting edge and "the thinnest CD playa evaa."  I haven't been into hi-fi nearly as long as most of you on here but it feels like so very long ago..

I wont to buy one, so you can count this as a interest.

Yup!
Plus, Reel-to-Reels, Tape Decks, Turntables and even FM radio!

Of course! I use a SACD player, a DVD-A player, and a regular old CD player.

Then there's a turntable, cassette deck, tubed FM stereo receiver, tubed AM/shortwave receiver, wideband communications transceiver, and a HD radio receiver.

I'd like to add a reel-to-reel, dedicated 78 turntable, wire recording player, 8-track, DAT deck, and a cylinder player.

Not to mention a nice ADC rig so I can digitze this stuff and (legally) share out-of-copyright material with everyone.

Only someone who has never actually used an 8-track could mention this, even jokingly. Although you are an MG fan, so you are used to stuff that only works part of the time, and requires constant fiddling!

I have 2 old Sony portable CD players that I use usually when I get a new CD and want to have extended time listening to it (I keep my Fuze set on random rotation - fun!).  It's amazing how full the sound is from both, plenty of power to drive all my phones.

Still using my Sony Vintage PCDP. Best sound quality ever!

I play CDs all the time, but mostly via DVD players attached to a home theater system. I do have a portable CD player and I use it occasionally. I also play CDs in the car all the time. MP3 players are great as portable units, but I have mostly MP3 files, so, "real" CDs still sound the best.

Sad but true jpelg.
I have heard 8 track tapes.
I don't remember them being too bad, although they would stop in the middle of a song to go onto the other track.
Very annoying...

The MG on the other hand is a labor of love!!!
