Ok, now you intrigue me - which album(s) specifically are you talking about...
Maybe you just like that era's music?
There are plenty of warm 3D, velvet sound albums of today. Sure not a bit "low-fi-sh" and with so much headroom as in the 70's - probably this headroom thing is the most important difference - actually now I remembered that I felt the same about all the movie mixes (which use standardized loudness) - that they sound that way - 3D, warm, velvet, clear and dynamic - even with contemporary music included - up until very recently... Did the loudness standards change in film industry?
