A 40 year old review of a piece of gear is one thing. A new review of the same piece of gear in the light of day with the benefit of all the new gear surrounding it is a completely different thing. To provide the old reviews and the new review of the unit at the same time would be the hot setup.
Do we have more 2 channel gear from 1950 to 2000 available to use than is introduced each new year? Would it be nice to have a recent perspective of it before we buy it? And not just from the rose tinted glasses of 40 years ago?
With 24 working receivers and 16 working pair of speakers on hand I can say that a lot of the units that were so eloquently waxed poetically about did not earn it. And with the advertising dollars removed from the scene would not get it today.
I don't need or care about new or old reviews of old music. I can hear the music for myself.
