Yeah but predicting the demise of CD & the rise of vinyl etc is a different thing
I'm not sure what exactly you mean related to missing support for their CD players ?
A company like Naim should have learned that extra spares are necessary to support forthcoming issues - indeed with their Black Classic CD range.
They didn't make sure to create a spare stock for future support, neither with their Naim speakers, some of them were discontinued only 5 years ago and no spare units available, thats lousy IMO.
Mind you, we are not talking cheap priced electronics here, people have paid premium.
