Someone...Lensman, I believe... just wrote a fairly exhaustive post on this. It was very well done. It seems the gold CD's last longer but even the normal ones run 30-50 years. Check out his post on General.
Not much of a CD Digital dude,
I always thought the early 80's late 80's CD's sounded poor, now I think they are are getting better however, I think 10,000 years our ancestors will find a CD and what the %$#*! and then find a LP andplay it with a sewing needle and say Wow!!
I love all music, just think the recording industry needs to pay attention to the finished product bein' marketed to us to make me listen to CDs more often,
I'm all for upgrading the transport and D/A converter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
