There is a Tube Forum already, where all of the SS electronics is out of bounds. Banning has defined his 'Golden Age' as ending in 1951, so I don't understand the issue - there is a forum for his 'Golden Age' already.How much I did, or didn't pay, doesn't change whether what I acquired is or isn't a piece of 'Vintage Gear'. I don't understand the problem (obviously) with congratulating others' windfalls when they happen, or celebrating the fact that much of yesteryear's quality equipment can be had for a pittance, AS WELL AS discussing the relative quality and sound of various SS equipment in the Vintage Gear forum.
Frankly, I don't find it so hard to not read what sounds uninteresting, and focus on what I think does - all in ONE forum on older, quality hi-fi equipment. I rarely see stuff on 80s BPOC receivers in 'Vintage Gear', but do agree that there is plenty about 70s and 60s equipment. For me, and apparently many others, this can be considered vintage, and from a 'Golden Age' in and of itself.
Finally, I enjoy the variety of subjects from 'Look what I found for $5!' to 'Where can I find specs on AR-1s?' or 'What is the best sounding Marantz amp ever?'. Having a mixed group gives me the option - every time I visit - to exercise my choice to read only about subjects I care about, or to expand my horizons and have my beliefs challenged.
We have enough isolation and segregation in life as it is. The web gives us the chance to break down barriers to communication and provides for the exchange of views and ideas in a safe environment.
Leave Vintage Gear as is.
