Reason for buying old/classic turntables

Could you please clarify why many people buy old/classic turntable from the 1960's or 1970's? Are those turntables better than the contemporary ones? Is it just emotion and nostalgia? I'm also asking because these classic turntables are often quite expensive (like vintage automobiles and wine). Recently I saw an advertisement for the Technics SP-10 Mk II for $3,000 and a Micro Seiki SX-111 for $6,000. You can also buy a modern turntable like an Avid, a Clearaudio or Raven for that kind of money. Or are these classic turntables still superior to the modern ones?

>>>Walker Proscenium...are simply better than their older counterparts.

>>>Any fool would know that.

How would you know? It is not like you have a Walker Proscenium at home. Ignorant, arrogant and foolish is worse than just being foolish.

How low is your IQ, just wondering, as you have a "need" to define anyone that disagreed with your viewpoint as "a fool"?
