The person who posted that comment on telephones was from the USA.
I guess he's old enough to know what the U.S. analog phone line sounded like.
You
are doing nothing more than romanticizing a bygone era.
There is a bit of romance, of course, the grass was greener, the girls were younger )). But no more than that.
Old analog PSTN
was pretty awful, almost all aspects of it. Low sensitivity microphone,
low bandwidth, very low signal to noise. Modern communications,
especially some of the Internet based voice platforms are so far ahead
in voice quality a comparison is laughable. You were
evaluating the liveliness and "fullness" from 300Hz - 3000Hz. Think
about what you are implying. You are honestly comparing that to what is
typically 50Hz - 7KHz, often with much better SNR, if not even wider
bandwidth?
Yes I am. I see that you can't believe that a less technically advanced device can sound better. I guess all the cables sound the same to you and have no direction, right?
