How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems?

Because we listen to our vintage stuff with younger ears!

Does that mean we are OLD lol?

I think so. =)

Remember. "old is the new young"
At least that's the way I figure it. 

While I don't exactly squander my current earnings on the good gear that I have,  remembering how we got that first piece of "hifi" gear does prejudice our opinions when comparing old and new.  I waited tables one summer,  all summer long,  extra shifts throughout to get into this stuff.  I think my first speakers were Acoustic Research "bookshelves" - rather large for bookshelves,  each with two 8" woofers with the tweeter centered between them?  The woofers were paper,  blue in color.  I forget the model.

Somewhere down the line I purchased a Yamaha Natural Sound integrated along with a pair of Bozak bookshelves - all I remember about the Bozaks is that they had aluminum woofers.  Anyone out there who might remember those give a shout!

Right now I've boxed up a less than one year old Macintosh Mc275 Mark VI amp for sale,  pulling out my old Pioneer SX during the interim.
If I closed my eyes and listened I would be hard pressed to guess that its 40+ years old.   Should I find a suitable amp to replace the MC275 I am going to look to have the SX receiver's cabinet redone.  Anyone out there know of a place to get that accomplished?  In or around NY?  This receiver will outlive me and I want it to look its best!

Fun discussion!
