There is a tendancy at the moment to applaud artists for making a whole album on a laptop. I'm sure the classical genre has some amazing recordings. Also strange that in the late 50's people were less likely to have music systems that could reproduce the recordings in full range or even media in good enough condition to appreciate it.

Now that we have all that advantage we use it to play Old Town Road at full volume on a Friday night.

It's funny that the audiophile of the sixties coming home after work, slipping on a cardigan, and playing the decca recordings of kathleen ferrier on his garrard turntable, quad amp and ESLs, enjoyed the finest reproduction.

Yes, he's only losing out to a rare few of us modern types. :)

I laugh at myself padding round in my 'listening room' cleaning and cataloging. If only I didn't enjoy it so much.
