Are any CD players Made in USA?

Are old CD players better?
The ‘old’ CD players were generally more ergonomic than anything you can get today. You could isolate tracks and program them easily. Some would offer index programming (as if anyone used that!).
Are CD players becoming obsolete?
CDs are not yet obsolete. Any music available to buy is made available on CD or hybrid SACD (very common with classical music labels). And CD Players are not yet obsolete because people have been buying CDs for 35 years. Remember, you can still buy vinyl and new turntables from ultra budget to high end.
Do expensive CD players really sound better?
High end decks offer better build and better sound than budget units today. Digital processors have really advanced since the first days of CD playback and players at all price points have improved dramatically due to that.
