EMTs and Bristols....
We're actually manufacturers! And very controversial amongst audiophiles because we've done a better job for a fraction of the price.
I understand and respect a love of and enthusiasm for old equipment and have a 400 to prove it, but I have to admit that I can't and never could understand why anyone might believe it's better than decent modern. If Music is the hobby, then why make it less accessible and more distorted. Audiophiles are a law unto themselves and most music is made on Apple Computers using Apple software and recordings have never sounded closer to the real thing in my view.
Old cars represent the art, the passion and the eccentricities of their creators as well as the skill of the craftsmen who built them and that I love. I see it in the old audio equipment you collect Stefano, but IMO it isn't in most audiophile gear because the companies aren't big enough to afford real talent, only egos.
