In Reply to: Legacy Products That Out Perform Their Modern Counterparts posted by geezerrocket on September 2, 2014 at 10:45:40:
I am not entirely sure what constitutes "legacy" - as opposed to "earlier models" - and I think the phrase "out perform" is highly debatable. Technically, this may be the case, but subjectively old gear can sound better - at least to some of us - than newer stuff.In my case, it's reflected in a preference for "older" Magnepan speakers (before the .7 models), a Thorens TD 124 turntable as opposed to many newer tts, vintage MacIntosh tube amps to the sound of some newer tube monos.
However, I am quite willing to accept this is a question of personal preference (isn't all audio?) and that these items might be technically inferior to newer models on a range of measureable criteria. Nevertheless, for me, the sweeping generalization that newer is always better simply isn't always true.
