Remember the times when CD players reigned supreme and nobody knew about MP3s and what they would bring? Today, the CD players have been gradually eclipsed by iPods and the gang of media players out there and people prefer to download music from iTunes and other similar sites. If you want to sell a CD player nowadays, it better have something original… like a cool design, at least. Kind of like this one here:

Although CDs will soon be replaced by memory sticks, memory cards or whatever pocket-sized media manages to store more data, an original CD player design could prove interesting if you plan to make a music devices museum of your own. The CD-T300 Pro will most likely count as an expensive artifact that should remind future generations of how spoiled people can get.

I mean the CD player looks cool and all that with gold plated tube legs, four amplification valves and two remote controls. With it’s shining blue lights, it could even be mistaken for some future music jukebox. It is made of aluminum alloy and weighs a no less than 24lbs. OK, it might appear as a sci-fi device but who’s really interested in buying $12,000 worth of dying technology?
