[QUOTE="HC1, post: 1103908, member: 24590"] Vintage Hifi often takes me back to a first impression or magical moment in the past. Thanks to a few talented restorers, we can listen to these well made pieces brought back to full spec. I am very sceptical to assume that almost anything you buy today will last even 20 years. I own multiple perfectly working pieces from the 70s. With modern advancements, valve equipment can be upgraded with higher spec capacitors. Bluetooth,Media streamers and other sources could be added to a vintage amp with good results. Listening to a record pressed in the 70s on a system from the same era is like going back in history. I like to listen to the current offerings whenever I can, and to me the vintage equipment holds up, provided it is properly restored. [/QUOTE]
