What I miss about vintage gear

What I miss is the visual experience I had while listening late at night in a dark room. The warm glow of dancing meters goes to the top of the list. 

I love the advances and the quality of the latest gear. Being able to select nearly unlimited music from a tablet is wonderful.  Sadly for the most part clean bland boxes with a single led power indicator is what I ended up with.  Sort of wish that there was a component that I could include that gave this without effecting the sound.


Even been thinking of getting a nice looking tuner to just have powered up although its not gonna really fill that void

I've toyed with the idea of the Magnum Dynalab Etude, also thought about gutting something like an old VTL amp as a façade. Have to believe the circuit wouldn't be difficult to just engage a pair of meters, just don't have those design skills. I can wield a soldering either just not sure how to layout the circuit.

Went to a demo in Spokane a couple of weeks ago and the McIntosh rep was going on about those cool blue meters. Wondering if that's what keeps drawing people to the Mc.
