>I trying to figure out where the author got this from?

I laughed at this too. Oh yeah, back in 2005 there was no way to get good sound from that dusty old equipment.

I mean, some of the best sounding albums of all time are 50+ years old.

No, when he was making it twenty years ago the equipment was then 20 years old so it's now 40 year old equipment.

That is.. arguable

[cess11]

I'd count Tom Waits' Nighthawks at the diner as such an album. Do you disagre on some other ground than it being just almost fifty years old?

[scrumper]

Some Steely Dan albums are 50 and over. Say what you want about the music but their albums are sonically incredible.

The Dark Side of the Moon will be 52 years old next month.

Are we talking the original recording or one of the many remasters because to my not 50 year old ears the originals for most old super-famous music sound terrible. Musically great but seemingly limited by the technology of the time.

Those 50+ year old albums weren't using samplers.
