There is sort of a 2 period line for vintage vs modern. The 1st is around the dawn of the transistor era and the 2nd as digital tuners came into being.
While a bit arbitrary, they are as good as any. The period between the pair of cutoffs was to many the vintage ss period for amps, tuners, etc. So there is the classic tube period, the vintage ss equipment period and bpc period. During the vintage ss period there were still a few tube equipment manufacturers but the number and production numbers was not sufficient to warrant a unique period classification. To some degree currently there is the emerging Chinese industry that is going to eventually create a new period for us to consider as some of it is turning out to be prety good tube gear.
