Yes that is indeed a cool image, you don't see beer glasses like that much anymore... Was that Eico equipment?
"Golden Age of Hi-Fi (1946-circa 1992)"
Exactly, the Hi-Fi boom was congruent with the baby boom so there's a whole glut of us with the same fascination that enjoy chatting about it on AA. Since we were formed by the unusual conjunction of successfully completing a war and the commercialization of the new field of electronics it's probably just hubris to think that subsequent generations should share our tastes.
Even though we haven't done so well in the war department, to this day Electronics continues to be a large driver of culture.
But it's not OUR Electronics and the hard core yet cling to their tubes, records and horn speakers and will be probably be laid to rest with a 6SN7 in each hand and a mint copy of the Dark Side of the Moon on their chests. Boy will the anthropologists have a hay-day with that one. "It's got to be some sort of religious/sex fetish thing, it's just gotta be!".
And of course they're right...
