In making comparison is aging parts. resisters go out of tolerance and caps become leaky, leading many to condemn vintage gear. compound that with many alterations lowering resale value n you have a major problem.
Many pieces of vintage gear can sound shockingly good even by.todays standards. Case in point Quad 57's. Even Marantz tubes (and non Marantz) can sound very good, maybe not as good as todays 5 digit components, but considering film caps were limited and teflon non existent, they more than hold their own.
