In the last 20-30 years, what has changed most...


I am curious, what has improved more in the last 20-30 years, amps or preamps?

Another way of asking would be, if you had to chose, would you rather have a 20-30 year old amp or pre amp?

It seems there are still some old amps that are holding value, but I rarely if ever hear about old preamps.

Just curious btw. I am not searching.

Oh me God, Albert, the Western Electrics! Awesome (pls excuse the expression)! Listened to a modified such sys in Paris, running off a Detlof type Goldmund ref TT and, yes, it was more than impressive. The speakers were horn-loaded cinema gear, also WE, salvaged from some sale in the '70s.
Nothing that fits in the modern Euro-home. I wonder if it fits the average US home, even. But, by memory comparison, my sound (in a 23/13 room) is sadly compressed.
