Default Treble in recordings

Maybe.

On the other hand, there are recordings from the seventies, like Hotel
California, that were clearly made by people blasted out of their skulls
on cocaine who are massively boosting the top end.

The original 45 and the consequent LP are listenable because the top end
had to be tamed down just to cut it. But the CD reissue sounds just like
the master and is painful to hear.
