It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

recorded sound hasn't progressed since 1962???

I find many of the Living Presence recordidngs are shrill/bright in their various CD and SACD issues. Whether this was true of the original LPs, I have no idea--the only one I have (Prokofiev Suites/Skrowaczewski) is too worn out to evaluate. The small number of mics Mercury used on many of those recordings did produce good imaging in the right halls. But the idea that recording technology hasn't advanced in fifty years is absurd. There are plenty of modern recordings with recorded sound better than those Mercury had.
