Ashra, my guess is that your system is one of the more *experienced* in this forum. A 39-yr old amplifier? Whoa! What amp is that, is it updated, and which speakers are you using?
Most of my gear is from the current decade, but I do have an old reel-to-reel deck or three, an old AR turntable in a second system, Klipsch Chorus speakers from 1990, and an amp from the mid/late '80s that sounds quite impressive.
I'm also hanging on to some vintage Dynaco tube gear for sentimental reasons. It's nice stuff, but I don't think it compares that well with my more up-to-date gear.
That said, there are some speakers a few decades old that can still sing mighty sweetly when hooked up to decent components and wiring. Old Klipsch, Acoustats, and Infinity RS-1bs come to mind, and I'm sure there are many more.
Party on!
