Sound doesn’t get better – just the equipment does!!
I recall driving down the road in cars that didn’t even have an FM band available on the radio!! The only thing available was the old AM radio band. Unless you were within 50 miles of the broadcasting station you could just about forget it. Bringing back any memories for any of you?? Then there were the earth shaking inventions that hit the market – seemingly all in a bunch!! There was the 8-Track tape player, then some car radios came with an 8-track built in. Along with these you could wire in a “reverberator” into your car’s sound system which gave the sound kind of a hollow sound. The Cassette tapes followed that. Then the FM Converter allowed folks without an FM radio to hear FM music stations by plugging them into your cassette player slot. CD’s naturally followed this and this opened up the “digital” field. Now everything is digital which has improved sound quality immensely!! I know I dated myself by even writing this, but who cares!! I think it’s fun to remember all these things and to know that I lived through the transition of it all. My grandson came to our house and I was converting a lot of my old LP records into digital on my computer so I could download them to an MP3 or WAV format for listening. When he saw the LP record, he gasped that he had never seen such a big CD in his life!! haha!! …the world goes on….. Anyway I ended up with my music recorded into a digital format and am now able to take my music with me when out on the water and play it through my marine radio receiver which plays through my waterproof marine speakers on board. Great Sound!! Happy Boater.
