Thats wild you still have tapes! Do you have a VAC in your garage too? I kid.
There is a huge fidelity difference between physical media, as much as I have enjoyed mp3 it always sounded off and we know why. Data storage is still an enormous premium, I had hoped the future would reduce the price to access any media due to it not having to be printed, pressed or otherwise transferred physically, but that pipe dream is long gone.
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.
