Obvously all have improved greatly and the best stuff from 40 years ago would still sound good if properly maintained. That said, I agree with Csontos, its probably speakers but you'd be surprised to learn that things like the plamsa tweeter were already developed.
What's improved the most?
A simple question that has often been the subject of debate: if we were to take the various components that contribute to music reproduction, the actual recording, then the turntable/CD player, cartridge, cabling, amplifier, and finally the speakers, then which of these components have improved the most over, say, the last forty years?
Or, another way of putting it: suppose we could assemble a 'super-system' from each of the last four decades, what would the difference be?
To be frivolous, I would say things are potentially more expensive than ever before, but if we eliminate the systems for the uber-rich, what would the results be?
