Vinyl could well be the best archive for sound
recordings. My master tapes are mainly deteriorated
now, sadly, even though I was lucky enough never to
have used that Ampex type where the oxide eventually
fell off the acetate. Only the DAT tapes still play as
well as new, and they probably won't play at all one
day. This is another "digital" the DATs probably will
either play or not, the analogue tapes just steadily
deteriorate :-)
I have not had the much publicised CD deterioration
problems with any of my pre recorded discs that I
still play. Not sure about my "own burns" yet long
term but so far so good!
