My first experience with quality sound was a pair of klipschorns that had been painted around four times and now i have the true vintage sound that i have always lusted after and you can not compare that sound to the new stuff at all, no contest, the vintage stuff will always win in performance, quality, sound, timbre, bass, and dynamics.
Is your now then?
What was your first significant experience with quality audio (then) and how does it compare with your present system (your now).
Do you think we strive to return to the past and remain in those influential times? Are our choices psychological, nostalgic even....?
Mine is a mixed bag. Solid state with turntable were my beginnings. Presently SS with digital sources trumping my TT most days. I am still enamored by albums and uber turntables, but budget constraints and the ease of digital is presently winning.
