Like Vinyl, analog tape is of course and older technology. Is it dead, well that depends on your perspective. I have a VPI turntable, Wadia digital, Tuner, and Revox A77. This is of course a mix of vintage hardware and much newer technology. To put it simply, not all available media is either affordable or in good shape but I do have some older recordings (family type stuff) that I cherish and that was recorded on m A77. I also have recording that were made from sources that are no longer available to me in any format.
Do I enjoy any format over another? Simple answer: they are all great given the restrictions or the very character of the playback device. Noise, hiss, pops, etc. are part of the media and enjoying the music simply requires a mental step; what's more important the content or the delivery .... I go fo content always!
