Get yourself some vintage McIntoshes. Something wonderful about those blue lights in a dark room.
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

So if you really want meters, maybe VU meters that dance to the music would fit the bill. Realistic (Radio Shack) made VU meters -- the APM 100 and APM 200 (demo clip below). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i64E8gbI-Po TEAC VU MB-20 https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-teac-mb-20-meter-bridge-249054297 If you can find them second hand cheaply. Or you could buy an old cassette deck with VU meters and just run a signal into it. |
