RE: Why Is Vintage Stuff So......

If equipment was constructed to vintage standards it would be prohibitively expensive...like $10K amps and $30K speakers. Long service life and inherent repairability are actually negatives in an environment where advancements in the reproducing arts occur almost daily. Cool design is just a reflection of the culture at the time of design. Style and fashion are mercurial by nature and don't warrant appreciation outside of the cultural context in which they were conceived. ;-)
