Just listened to a 1954 recording by Frank Sinatra which was exquisite and it seems to me has not been bettered in all the intervening years.
Perhaps the techniques used then should be returned to if audio quality is what your looking to achieve.

P.S. I am not saying all recordings since then are worse or new recordings can't be as good or better. It just seems that with all the progress, the pinnacle of what could be achieved was approached along time ago.

No 18 in the Hall of fame smile I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best:
GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone
