How many use Vintage Hi-Fi systems?

I was wondering, how many here use a Vintage Hi-Fi as their main stereo? Please give details as to your equipment. I use Citation 17 preamp, Citation 16A amplifier, Sony TC-755 reel to reel, Dual 1229 (with Grace 747 tonearm), Nakamichi OMS4 CD player Advent 201A cassette and Definitive Technologies BP10 speakers. I have many audiophile friends who trade up constantly. I bought a system that I enjoy and have kept it. Oh, and I still love it! Friends are floored by how musical it is. Your thoughts please.

Just received my Sansui 9090DB back from servicing (Deltronics).  Guru of all things audio 'Mike', gave the old girl a clean bill of health. Repairs needed?  Zero. All functions exceeding spec. Not bad for a 39 year old receiver. =)

He did have to clean the balance pot however. 

Back in in the system and sounding wonderful.

Sam,
Yes, and I have really been enjoying it. I am going to keep two preamps and one power amp. Everything else is about gone now, but there are just certain pieces that you can't part with. =)
