It seems that vintage hifi is a pretty serious thing for some folks, I saw a very nice reel to reel setup on another video. I did not think you could even buy quality tape anymore.
My parents had a Pioneer Music Centre from the late 1970's, remember the flat slab with a tape deck, tuner, turntable and amplifier. Out of curiosity I hooked it up to the Kef Coda 2 speakers I had at the time. Holy Crap - it sounded really good! There is a lot of unloved vintage gear out there which sounds really good.
