Honesty! Has OP asked about differences between analog tape technology and other media? How much more clearer his question could be?

OP, I do not have knowledge regarding your inquiry.  It is just frustrating reading these rants, showing off the knowledge of the subject but nothing to do with the question posed. It seems like it became "fashionable" lately.

Forgive me my rant.

Knock1, your critique is spot on. No need to apologize. OP might get relevant responses on some other forum dedicated to tape or even on What’s Best Forum. Many of those guys are tape aficionados.

Check out tapeheads.net. Lots of R2R fanatics over there.

Thank you, ho249 and lewm. I am a member over at Tapeheads and What's Best but have not visited the sites in quite some time. I am headed there now.
