...Vilchur apparently achieved the holy grail back then using what many today would consider to be highly flawed components (high feedback MKIIIs, 18ga zip cord etc.). Curiously, live vs recorded demos of that nature are almost unheard of today. One conclusion might be that most everything we need to know about high quality domestic music reproduction was known and available 50 yrs ago. Another ancillary conclusion is that current "hi end" has lost its way with its infatuation with the "pride-of-ownership" aspects of audio.
Anyway, stuff like that Vilchur interview is surely food for thought..
