The "stigma" has been this way for 40 years or more since inception,....
then add on all the newer technology introduced to the masses,
all that time and you end up with a big mish-mosh
of devices to play music with. Who's right or wrong?,
no one really knows till this day & beyond..
Let's not forget that no matter what "circles think"
the fact that the "Talent" & what it sounds like is KING
bottom line, no matter what you use, or how it's done.
