Have digital players improved

improvements in sound are highly subjective.

i prefer some older digital gear to many of today's digital products.

so i would say, it's a matter of opinion and one's criteria of what good sound is.

one can make the case that components of the 60's through the 80's, when configured sound better than today's better stereo system.

the point is "better" sonically is highly subjective.

hi tim:

for the record the sound i most preferred was the following system:

stacked quad esls, 4 quad mono tube amps, mac c22 pre, thorens td 124 table, with ortofon cartridge and arm.

i have heard many systems since 1966, when i owned the above, and none have i liked as much as what i owned back in 1967.

of course, tha's just my opinion.

personally, as i have often said stacked esls are my favorite sspeaker.
