Assuming that 20 years from date of manufacture constitutes vintage status, how much of what you use has reached Geezerhood?
No, I don't just mean your ears.
When I was following the RMAF coverage I started to wonder what the people on AC actually use.  Primarily new, mix and match or the older items?
This is how I stack up for the mountains of crap which drives my wife crazy(er):

Wow... I've got too many turntables!

All the rest is new.  I use a 1960 Knight kit amp that is completely redesigned by Gary Dodd, two Techincs SP10II turntables and a JVC QL F6 turntable that all have vintage beginnings.  The rest is vintage stuff that I probably ought to get rid of.

I have an technics SL-1200 turntable, but I am not sure how old it is. Still used my Yamaha integrated amp everyday, minimally for headphones or to run Baby Advents in the shop. Main Speakers are Boston Acoustics HD-9.

I got rid of my old vintage but still have some new vintage.
