Still happily using vintage gear?

thoughts on the bose 501 speakers
I also had the Bose 901s series 3 and still have a pair of 301’s. I bought my 901’s in 1980 when I was in the Army in Germany- I liked them but difficult to setup correctly I switched to B&Ws 803’s in 1993 and found B&Ws much better for al...

I totally agree! I have my old Nakamichi dragon - playing with McIntosh MAC6700 with Wilson Watt 8's- friends can't believe how good cassettes (35 yrs old) still sound!   
Bose 901
Hey I too was stationed in Germany in the Army 1980-1982 and bought 901, series 4, and loved them. I had pioneer integrated system, and Technics SL 1,600 mkII Turntable, and a teac cassette player. Many Army buddies were surprised how good my Bose...
