Did you ever think digital and analog would exist side by side the way it is now

Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals once existed side by side. It's survival of the fittest, that's of analog. Digital is dead and has always been.

I never dumped ANY records 25 years ago.....but I sure began buying the ones that "everyone" else had.
And I also never bought CDs then or since.....
Don't really care what happens to digital. It doesn't play any part in my serious listening.

I did have to buy a few because that music was unavailable in analog but serious listening is not really possible with that. To be fair, there are analog recordings and records that are barely listenable. Try Birds of Fire by Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Not only do LP/CD exist side by side, the Cassette and Open Reel exists as well. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
