What I miss about vintage gear


What I miss is the visual experience I had while listening late at night in a dark room. The warm glow of dancing meters goes to the top of the list. 

I love the advances and the quality of the latest gear. Being able to select nearly unlimited music from a tablet is wonderful.  Sadly for the most part clean bland boxes with a single led power indicator is what I ended up with.  Sort of wish that there was a component that I could include that gave this without effecting the sound.


Even been thinking of getting a nice looking tuner to just have powered up although its not gonna really fill that void

The old Magnum Dynalab Etude or FT101's had three cool-looking meters and a digital frequency readout.  Not bad a a tuner either.
You can build your own faux amplier box with pretty meters and tubes! It is just for aesthetics and would look just like you want.  Lots of nice meters out there. May be a product line extension idea ✌️  
I'd buy McIntosh, but I want to wait until a manufacturer comes out with an amp with larger meters.
