Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Good point

A fair amount of the music of the 60s was very organic. Even in rock you had mixes of folk, simple vocals both male and female, smaller musical studio tracking with virtually little to no over dubbing.

Music was a simpler affair back then. I can see in the 80s it began to be more complicated and less coherent. You would think that you needed MORE detail. But with louder multi tracking and distortion added intentionally - you DON'T! Just loud was good enough.

Fewer classical albums were being sold. And there was an early transition happening. LPs were getting really crappy in quality. I remember I bought a Zepplin album and returned it like five times because they were all warped, "pre scratched" and thin as a wafer. I finally gave up and never bought that recording even to this day.
