I guess I am just trying to understand the reason for your post. Analog/vinyl is dead....oh wait...nevermind..
We live in a world where six figure speakers, amps and turntables exist in great numbers and repairing reel to reel decks or replacing heads is too expensive ? Regardless the reel to reel industry isn't taking a single dime out of YOUR pocket
The real point is that if you do not want or care for reel to reel, fine, don't buy or use it, but to "pontificate" to others seems to me to be nothing but enjoying the sound of ones own voice
