Angel Records(EMI) produced some very high quality classical recordings from the 60s and 70s at reasonablly low prices I have found ! The records sounded clean and crisp even at a high optimum on my NEC turntable and speakers.

In addition, it is often very important as to, how you set good quality equipment with regards the room and it's acoustics...............Good thoughtful placement of the equipment ,especially speakers, can extract an improvement out of medium costing equipment, that many pay an awful lot of money for, believing money will make the difference; actually, it is correct use of the equipment that makes the difference. Things like cables make a difference, but there quickly comes a point,when, it is all in the wallet of the believer.
Also, remember this: rubbish in means rubbish out..................In the early to middle times of recorded music, the quality of some areas was not as, top priority.In the 60/70 Stereo was not the best form of the recording and was often done quickly and on a budget........................Some classic recordings have very poor technical delivery that even modern day restoration can't improve.................On the other hand some early material was very well captured and recorded.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
