Don't get me wrong. I have 80% of my cd collection ripped. They're high quality
ogv
files and they sit on my streaming server. When I'm coding, I'm streaming off
that server.

With a good quality tape and a well balanced recording, tape is just suitable
for everyday listening. I'm no audiophile like you.
