Paul McGowan, co-founder and CEO of PS Audio, is a genius when it comes to audiophile-level sound and equipment. 99% of what he talks about is far beyond my understand and/or budget. (PS Audio’s new FR-30 loudspeakers run about $30 grand USD a pair.) However, Paul is so personable and knowledgeable, that I recommend his videos to non-audiophile peasants like myself. He answers fan questions every day, and offers tours of the PS Audio listening rooms. In this video, Paul reveals that PS Audio are planning a new CD player for 2023 or 2024. The current “parts pandemic” is a very real thing and he goes into detail on the problems this causes. Fascinating guy, interesting video.

Wonder if it’ll play pregap information or you have to rewind. I had a really old CD player from the early ’80s and it’s the only one that’s ever started from the beginning of the pregap and not at INDEX 01 of track one in the cue sheet.

His new CD player I mean.

I doubt it, their focus is strictly on the audio quality. He didn’t go much into detail but I expect all the components, cables and electronics are high end.

Who knows why the old player did that? I found it interesting.

A new CD player in the next couple of years? Doesn’t he know vinyl is the new CD? Lol

I believe he did a video on “will you guys put out a turntable” but it’s not his focus.

Cool. Maybe vinyl will die down and CDs will come back into prominence and he’ll be ahead of the curve!

For audiophiles, CD and SACD are still important!
