I have read many posts and comments here on AA and elsewhere, that vintage iron (transformers) are of better quality than their modern counterparts.
I suspect that there may be some credence to this judged on nothing more than listening - Don't known for sure though.
Was the metallurgy better back in the 50's and 60's? Im just thinking out loud and don't wish to start any pissing match.
