Just for my record player, since I wasn't able to pay for a new stylus in the last years and I'm still using crappy Audio-Technica replacement. However, you can't boost what's not there. I read that even a lot of the old music was remastered, fortunately I own lot of LPs that even don't have a bar code. Many of the young rock musicians (half as old as I am) today record on analog tapes, playing original Mellotrons etc., so I suspect you're listening to other music than I do.
