Why is vintage audio equipment booming?

I just saw this on the BBC site and thought it may be interesting to other Forum members: ' channel - I have referred to his videos when replacing a laser in one of my BC2300s.
Hi Guy, A very good read. I too have followed Mark's Youtube channel - fascinating bloke and enormously talented. I do love it when he decides to engineer a replacement part, as well as the electronics side.

Beofan for many years with a penchant for 1990s audio systems.
He fixed a Beocord 5000 - hence a genius! It was the 2 head version but even so - and it did give him problems - which they all do!

I have just seen his latest video - he suffered a copyright strike after the fix of a Tom Evans Phono preamplifier (£25,000!!) which he fixed but clearly whilst doing this exposed the fact that it was an overcomplicated and badly made device - despite the fact that this had been sent to him by the manufacturer as they decided they could not fix it! Can I suggest as many of us subscribe to the channel to support him but also because he does some wonderful videos - I imagine Multicare will watch them as well if only for the laughs!
