[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7904352, member: 177"] Which only matters if you grew up in a time when "heavy" was a selling point. If it were still a selling point, the "modern crap" would be heavy. But it ain't, by your own admission. The world has moved on. Well, musical compositions are not systems or technology. I'm guessing you don't drive a Model T, right? Not listening to music on wax (or probably even vinyl). Not building your home out of wattle and daub? And I suspect you have steel and ceramic knives in your kitchen, rather than knapped obsidian blades, amd I correct? When talking about technology or designed systems, I'm sorry, but usually old means, "based on a less complete understanding of what can and should be done." While there are good bits still to be found in the past, "the original did it this way," is not itself an argument that we should do a thing this way now. [/QUOTE]
