I'd be interested in your opinion.
If you also think it sounds great, then my question returns, "Well, how did it get there?"

There is musical information missing from all recordings, maybe we simply differ over the percentage we have gained? I have not exactly been bowled over by the quality of any method of recording, they all fall woefully short, so maybe I am more forgiving of the failures.
I have been to Hi Fi shows where Silbatone is demonstrating and they have terrific (terrific) sound that comes from 100 year old speakers and amps. It's utterly amazing. Listening to those babies really makes ya wonder just how much we have accomplished in the meantime. My answer would be that the average person has easier access to higher quality sound, but those caveman Western Electric systems will spin your head!
Munich Hi-End
It’s a strange world. More hifi exotica than hi-end. But it seems there’s a market for this. Indeed there is. I'm not sure how much of the customer base is in Europe, but that so much of the gear emanates from Europe (and is shown at this trade show in Munich) perhaps heightens the cachet that...

I am certainly not trying to sell you any! They are just examples of what could be accomplished from such a vintage!
