Oblgny,
I agree with you. Nostalgia does play a role. Had some friends over a few weeks ago and one walked up to the 9090db and just stared at it. He had always wanted one when he was a teenager. When I look at it I remember very well having to save and save (layaway actually) to buy it.
The differnces that I hear in the vintage gear are just some how more pleasant to me. For some reason I love what I hear and I don't find myself analyzing the gear the way I do when I'm swapping out amps and preamps.
The bottom line is, that whatever draws you in, recreates that magic that makes listening so enjoyable is what you should be listening too regardless of others opinions.
