Yupp IR I'll go along with that.

I would add a bit more though...

I reckon some of the artefacts we hear remind me of my recordings I used to make in those days off air from the TV and Transistor Radio using one of those portable cassette recorders and a microphone.

I know the answer!!! (raises hand) Ok, its a crap guess....

I think it MAY be because the 90's is when people first started turning audio into MP3, and in the early days of doing that, some horrible errors were made in making small files, as people had tiny hard drives and were sharing with dial up. These days we can make reasonably small files that don't sound quite that bad. But some of those early MP3s are really horrendous. That might be why you see a quality dip in the 90's as things moved from audio tape to early MP3s.
