Case in point: my vintage 1973 Altec Stonehenge I's vs. the Tekton DI's! How about some Zeppelin and Ten Years After as playback choices? Maybe some Pink Floyd and Hendrix, too! Both speakers look like contenders that can "rock out"!
Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F
I am in a hi-end audio store today, speaking with the owner, who has been in the audio business for almost 40 yrs. Super nice guy. Can talk up a storm - but as a good thing... where someone like me can learn a thing or two.
He said something that I found curious... audio equipment (pres, amps, rcvrs, speakers) sound better today than just 20 years ago, b/c ’they didn’t have the same technology back then we have today'. Why? Better materials, better components, better r/d... the stuff just sounds better in today’s world, he is telling me.
Coming from someone who doesn’t know any better.... is there any truth to this?
