In the last 20-30 years, what has changed most...


I am curious, what has improved more in the last 20-30 years, amps or preamps?

Another way of asking would be, if you had to chose, would you rather have a 20-30 year old amp or pre amp?

It seems there are still some old amps that are holding value, but I rarely if ever hear about old preamps.

Just curious btw. I am not searching.

I'm quite on line with Craig and Albert. Digital has improved, but so have cartridge designs. Also speaking of amps and preamps I would contend, that Spectral preamps have evolved more through the years than their amps, with the exception of the arrival of the 360 monos, which are in a class of their own, and the technology of which has now trickeled down. What certainly has NOT improved, musically, are tuners, quite to the contrary actually, I find. Cheers,
