sidewinder Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Interesting video clip. They will now switch to digital streaming devices as well as the LP12 turntable: Wonder if this will now trigger an industry trend?

Claude Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) This "news" has been falsely reported everywhere. Linn continues to make players that play CDs, but these will be universal players that also play DVDs, Blu-ray, SACD. No "ditching of small disc players". It's just the CD-only players are being abandonned. I think more manufacturers in the middle and upper price range will make this move, and DVD-only players will also disappear, to be replaced by Blu-ray players. Neither evolution means the end of CD or DVD playback. Edited November 21, 2009 by Claude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the likes of Naim follow suite? (in fact I guess Naim are already heading up this route with the 'Uniti') Edited November 21, 2009 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
