RE: Yet another rave review for cables that fit Trump's budget made me wonder........

"I suppose one could ask the same questions about electronics, at least those employed by recording and mastering studios when Layton, Wilkenson etc. were around. Most of us take it for granted that huge improvements have been made. Dunno."

Think about it... tubes, tubes, and more tubes. Transistors never entered into the picture. So maybe meaqsured improvements really are irrelevent.

Did you ever notice that the majority of "reference" recordings were made prior to 1970 (the beginning of the "transistor age".) Yes, there are some lauded recordings (Lyrita, EMI, some rock and jazz), but fewer recordings are recognized for quality from the "transistor age" and fewer still from the "digital age". Food for thought.
