Are 90's mid-fi units as good as hi-fi from 80's


Are we making any advances or are we just going around in circles (that get more expensive over time)?

Anyone here remember the late 1960s early 1970s with the flood of Japanese solid state receivers and integrates here in North America?

With this early solid state, sound quaility took a sharp nose dive compared to the vacuum tube integrated amps and receivers from 1950s and early 1960s.

I'd take a receiver or integrate from that era over anything built in the 1970s 80s and 1990s and beyond.
