Haha yeah, reel tapes are fun. Not many left now and theyre expensive, but I enjoy it.
If you mean a variac or a vac tube amp, definitely can’t afford that ha!
I think it peaked with cd really. Probably the best physical sounding media that normal humans can notice. Tape imo can go beyond digital, but it takes INSANE cost. It will far outperform vinyl too, since there’s much less limitations to tape than vinyl.
Some tapes though (like the carpenters or s&g) even though they are 50+ years old, far outperform any other medium I’ve heard of those same albums. This is likely because the generation loss was far less. And thats only 7.5 ips!! 15 ips, oh man the quality is insane.
To have access to those originals, or just getting to experience remasters that are worth the time to listen to would be worth the cost to store. Its not just the medium of storage though, right. It is about hearing it, fully just as it was intended and we have given a lot of that up as a compromise to abstracting compression.
Yeah exactly. I also have always preferred physical media. I buy files from bands I really like on bandcamp, but its nowhere near the same as actually having a physical copy of the music.
Same. I hate how online streaming basically deleted all Metadata from music. People dont understand that often it takes 20 people to make an album, because all the liner notes and credits are gone now. Another learning experience lost.
