Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: I thought of a new definition for what is "vintage"

Vintage is a suggestive term used when talking about things of the past, whether it be television shows(who uses the word "television" anymore?, cars, audio. Even kitchen utensils or tools can be considered vintage depending on suggestion. I really don't think a specific year can be attached to the definition but many use a specific year as a reference. I guess that can be OK to do but who is to say what the year is to be. I feel the cars of the 60's and 70's to be vintage and not all cars. Just desirable ones and who determines "desirable?" There is a 4 door Oldsmobile Delta 88 in mint condition that I would buy but the asking price is $3500. I wouldn't give him more then $500. It's a nice clean car but to me not all that much of a car that I NEED to have.

So in my opinion vintage is a "suggestive" word.
