Some of the main differences between vintage, and I'm assuming a quality unit, and modern are basically few. The major difference is price point construction. In older units you tend to see higher quality parts, over speced parts, good solid beefy construction, "tunability" of a unit - eg balance pots, bias, etc...New gear does enjoy a tremendous gain in power supply designs, razor sharp specs, ultra low distortion, excellent cheap units can be had.
But again these are all general statements and DON'T apply to any actual piece or group of gear. And there are good modern pieces and crappy vintage stereos. The trick is finding the ones you like.
