What if electrical recording was the first commercial type of sound recording

Jalve

With a POD where the vacuum tube was invented in 1870s-early 1880s or earlier, what would the impact of the phonograph be if electrical recording was the first commerical process introduced in 1888 instead of acoustical recording? Acoustical phonographs would still be made, but recording studios would use electrical process instead. How would it change music, films, radio and television? Would records replace sheet music as the main product earlier?

Why would they replace sheet music as the main product earlier? Because the quality is better than acoustical, or because its cheaper than acoustical?

The reason why I said that records replace sheet music earlier is that electrical process has more fidelity than acoustical process
