RE: Is Vintage Iron Inherently Better Than Modern?

Airtime,
I would echo your comments - adding only that there are some modern materials that have made it possible to get better specifications today than was possible 60+ years ago - mostly having to do with insulation -
which leads to a denser set of windings, lower capacitance and higher frequency roll-off points-

That said - a great transformer is still a great transformer - and a bad one is horrible - no matter when it was built-
Happy Listening
