I find a lot of older music sounds very muffled and poorly mastered where as some modern stuff like Tipper are incredible experiences especially on high end headphones. Some of this modern stuff is completely unreal. But if all you listen to is old music and the top 10 pop songs I'm not surprise you would miss this.

Have a listen to this, its one of the most amazing things I have listened to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCIXH6sb1ss

Nothing from the past is able to match this level of incredible stereo effect.

Thanks for the link to Tipper, as a fan of Shpongle,I think I'll like a trip (possibly literally) through some of Tipper's catalogue.

But, incredible stereo effects does not equal great music. Great music may or may not have great stereo effects. Music may be muffled and grainy, but that's a reflection of the available technology, it says nothing of the quality of the music itself.

1966, great music, Zappa was ahead of his time with production: https://youtu.be/girnJH7tvpM
