Serious development of the vinyl LP pretty well petered
out in the middle-late 1960s. There have been no new
technical developments that were generally accepted
since then.



I think that you'd be surprised at just how incorrect
that assessment is. DMM is one innovation that has been
added since the '60s as well as things like digital
lathe control, better sounding acceleration limiters for
the cutter stylus, better "lacquer" disc materials (less
noise) and generally less 'colored' electronics all
through the system.

And there's nothing wrong with incremental improvements.

The proof is in the pudding. LP test records made using the best modern
procedures and equipment measure no quieter than classics from the 1960s and
1970s such as those by CBS Laboratories.
