[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 258251, member: 807"] I'd agree to that time frame. Not specifically because of stereo though. It was a change in buyers' outlook. It was the first time really good quality playback equipment became available in quantity (to those who could afford). So it was the beginnings of real 'hi-fi'. Vinyl records replacing shellac, FM broadcasts, stereo, and magnetic tape all arrived around this period (to consumers anyway), so it was a 'golden age' for home sound reproduction. I don't think a Compact Disc Player can be classed as vintage. The format has not been around long enough. And vintage doesn't have to mean it was great in its heyday, so vintage doesn't imply great sound, just a certain level of build quality and notariety in its class. [/QUOTE]
