We agree with you: analog storage mediums are still some of the best audio sources. However, they are also less reliable as time goes by. Not to mention that the time for boomboxes and cassette players is long gone and it’s probably not coming back (even though some of us still hope it will).

Even as someone who likes to avoid pre-historic clichés like the plague, I find it pertinent to say that the difference between the best home theater speakers and even the best soundbar in a reasonable budget is bigger than an Argentinosaurus.
