Anyone who generalizes insisting that one format is ALWAYS better than an other is usually OTL. Digital obviously has a large advantage over any analog format including R2R. This does not mean that analog sources can not sound superior under the right circumstances. So, as many of us insist, it depends. There is no question that digital is more convenient but if convenience is your main issue then you might as well buy a table radio.
Acoustic Sounds did not stop offering Digital Downloads because of declining sales. I stopped buying downloads from them because I find HD Tracks site much more convenient. I do buy a lot of records from Acoustic Sounds. I really think they are quite happy selling vinyl as they have increase their presence by buying Classic Records.
For certain Streaming is taking a large segment of the market. I think young people like this format. I do not. I prefer collecting music. I do not to have to filter through a forest of awful music.
I love turntables. I grew up with them so, there is an emotional connection that I will never give up.
