Ehh.. I think most of those remembering the 70s would agree that there
were very clear dividing lines, and that the mesurement brigade have
been proven wrong on most accounts. A typical sceptic in those day
would say that all amps that measured the same (with the crude
technology available at the time) sounded the same -and they certainly
wouldn't call themselves "sceptics". Instead they called "the listening
people" all sorts of deregatory things.
