The previous generation talks about how vinyl sounds better (&quot;warmer&quot;) than CDs.  Tape is our generation&#x27;s vinyl.<p>Eventually when CDs are no longer widely produced (44.1kHz sample rate isn&#x27;t ideal for the high end) and everyone has switched over to 96kHz or 192kHz at 24 or 32 bits or whatever the 4K TV equivalent in audio is, the next generation will wax nostalgic over CDs and the horrendous loudness wars that made everything sound &quot;better&quot; through dynamic range compression.<p>I mean, I wouldn&#x27;t bet THAT much money on it.  But it definitely seems like the next cycle of the trend.
