Thanks for the heads-up on that interview; I really enjoyed it. But I didn't quite have the same "takeaway" as you did.

"I embrace the new technology and I still like the vintage stuff. There's no reason you can't enjoy both" does not quite translate to: a 30 year old receiver is really a piece of junk compared to a much less expensive new receiver. I have about a dozen, both, newer and vintage (mostly) and they all have their attributes.
