    Mostly new-ish here, apart from an AR turntable and Mordant-Short MS20 speakers, neither of which gets much use these days. In term of Japanese vintage stuff, I've got an Akai reel-to-reel, but it's knackered.

    The Arcam Delta 60 is 1988ish and the Thorens TD160 is 1972/73ish. Everything else is modern or very modern. I like a mixture me.

    Classic often gets referred to as Vintage and visa versa.

    I have Mission 752 Freedom floorstanders,
    circa mid '90's which are known as classic British speakers and I'd have to agree - not quite vintage as in very old.

    Pioneer PD 91 cdp - 1987-90 so again maybe more 'classic' than vintage in my opinion some may think otherwise.

    Sansui AU 919 Integrated Amplifier, 1978/79 - defo both vintage and classic in my view

    So to be classic it has to be some sort of icon or just timelessly good? Seems reasonable. Anything old is vintage, crap or not. But then a Dansette could surely be reasonably described as both vintage and a classic even though it is a bit rubbish? It's a tough one.

    Incidentally the official AoS definition is pre 1990 for vintage, older than 1990 it is supposed to be discussed in the 'Past Masters' section.
