Technology drives the market ONLY IF ITS BETTER THEN BEFORE IT.
"Better" can be many things.
- The tube was abandoned for the transistor because it was "better"--- meaning smaller, lighter and cheaper to operate, but for audio, sounds much worse.
- The LP was abandoned for the CD because the CD was "better"--- never wore out and was cheaper to make. But they don't sound nearly as good and after years, brought back the LP.
