That those tube Mic's were German, and the tube amps were made in England... doesn't make them BAD either. Actually they were among the best ever made.Almost of the recordings made in the 1960's were done on simple, minimalist tube equipment, like those EMI studio (tube) Preamps and Amps, and Ampex 300 Tube type Tape decks, etc., which often accounts for the incredibly detailed and astonishingly clear master tapes, and even the 3rd, 4th, or 5th generation Reel to Reel pre-recorded consumer tapes, still beat the hell out of the LP's and Modern day CD's...
While RTR Tapes often got at best 50 dB of dynamics, or 60 dB with Dolby B... above the noise floor; CD's with their potential of 100+ dB of dynamic range are often are highly unlistenable, highly distorted, and very highly compressed; having between 5 dB and 10 dB of dynamic range, and I am sorry that ain't music..
