Hightly agree but this is far from mainstream opinion. The majority of people flock to streaming for convenience and have no idea nor care what’s superior in quality.
Of course, but tapes are niche too, right? I'm kinda optimistic, because the influence of people who care is outsize, they're always being asked what equipment is good by their friends, so maybe more people will start to care.
One problem is finding music that is recorded well-enough to enjoy in better quality. I was listening through my Mojo 2 earlier, and enjoying the last Radiohead album from 2016, it was fabulous in every aspect. But then, on the other hand, put on Arlo Parks Collapsed in Sunbeams, which sounded terrible in comparison. You can't really tell on streaming!
