I agree with 1988eldorado on the older less accurate setup. Counterpoint 3.1, Essence amp, Mirage 3si's and a Kyocera 701 TT. Newer decent all tube equipment, audio physics Virgo 3s and a better TT and cartridge upstairs but still prefer the sound of the old stuff in the man cave. The older equipment is more forgiving but it's a combination of the music and the sound for me, if the music moves me I can cut the the sound alot of slack
Old vs. new
I have a simple(maybe?) question for you guys, I have some new versions of albums that I’ve replaced from older vintage records that I’ve had thinking they would sound better than my older ones, but they don’t, since vinyl has made a comeback , we’re the older versions engineered and mixed for vinyl and now the new recordings not mixed to favor vinyls characteristics?
