Is this it for CDs? Linn, the company that produced what some consider the best-sounding CD player available, the Sondek CD12, has said that it will stop making CD players from next year. Gilad Tiefenbrun, the company's managing director, said it would concentrate on making systems that play downloaded music. Sales of its CD players have dropped by more than 40 per cent in the past two years, Tiefenbrun said.
