   Phil, do try to get control of yourself.

   You yourself said we were discussing the situation in the early 1950s so   
   why are you suddenly taking about LPs and 1970s Denon?

   That's incorrect.  The  recording industry standard tape recorder   
   even as far back as 1965 was the Studer C37.  It had a SNR   
   of -70dB (published spec) even without Dolby A.   
      
   You will be hard pressed (no joke  intended:-) to find a vinyl   
   pressing that can offer 60dB. If you want to try,  DGG and Decca   
   SXL (classical) pressings are the quietest.
