Vintage systems- anyone else?


My 2 channel audio system is completely vintage, and I enjoy it very much. I have very little disposeable income for audio, so vintage seemed like my best opportunity to build a system to enjoy.

I have absolutely nothing against new gear, other than I can't afford it. Anyone else taken the vintage path and enjoy the results?

Most of my vintage gear has worked it's way downstairs to my gym. There I have a Dynaco preamp feeding 2 Dynaco mark 3 mono amps, going to an original set of Bose 901's. I use an old Mcintosh tube tuner and a Kinergetics cd 40 as my source. It still rocks even when I'm to tired to.
I too have a soft spot for older vintage systems. My senior system consists of a Scott 340B receiver, Klipsch Industrial Ported Heresy's and a Linn LP12 turntable with the Adkit cartridge. I use radio shack interconnects and 14 gauge speaker wire. This system gets alot of things right. I can listen to jazz for hours without fatigue.
My main 2-channel system is a Harmon Kardon HK 730 twin being fed by a Linn LP 12. Although my speakers are newer Tannoy Rev 3's, I'm looking for some older Tannoys or Infinity "Q" series.
I forgot to mention that I have a vintage Mitsubishi LT-30 linear turntable on the way.
Eico st 70 stereo amp & Eico st97 fm/am stereo tuner. Of course tubes- WOW! I've have Fisher 500c 's Scott 222,299,272,340 and various Macs- but you've got to hear the Eico's.Also have modified caps Ar2a 's .Frazier speakers which sound better than tc-50's ,Ar s,KLh's etc. Just a hoot how great this combo sounds! Rekokut table tops it off. Not the greatest but amazing for it's age - got lots more too- But this combo is my favorite
