Bad preamps you mean ?
You tell me. I have the schematics for many broadcast
consoles and professional music mixers from the 50s
that use unregulated supplies.

'Professional' has moved on a bit in 50+ years.

Has it really?

I doubt they'd match
decent cheap domestic kit now. This is one thing that
freaks me out about you tubeophiles,

Nothing to do with tubeophiles. Neumann tube mics are
still much revered by pros (as are many other tube
mics), as are tube mic pres (just look at the popularity
of the EMI REDD 47)
you want to recreate the sound of half a century ago.

Quite possibly. Is there something fundamentally wrong
with that?
Nothing at all. As a classical recording engineer with a
special interest in baroque music, I want to recreate the
sound of 300 years ago!

So Iain why are you bothering with such *modern* entities as tubes. I have
it on good authority that there were no tubes in audio 300 years ago!

LOL!
