It is a fallacy. Some guys say the old Ferrari's are better than the new one's. The reality is the new Ferrari's blow away the older one's. In fact all new cars blow away the old cars. Same thing in audio. Some people like to live in the past. For evidence of this go to audio kharma. They think speakers from the 70's are better than speakers produced now.

I can practically guarantee that a 2016 model Ferrari will be nothing more than a static display in a museum 50 years from now, while a 1950's unit will be both display-worthy and a driver. There is absolutely no way the electronics in the modern variant will still be operable in 50 years. If nothing else, UV emissions will destroy the memory chips, which won't be available.

I greatly prefer the sound of the best vintage audio gear to nearly anything made today!
By that argument, a good new violin should be better than a Stradivarius......
