"Top 5" Holiday Voting Thread: VINTAGE AUDIO GIFTS/WISHLIST

The holiday season is upon us again, which means “Tis the Season for Giving.” From now through December 31, 2014 the Top 5 stickied thread will focus on helping each other get our holiday vintage audio wishlists in order, as well as discover ideas and suggestions for gifting those vintage junkies in our lives.

Without further ado, here we will be hashing out, as a community, the Top 5 Vintage Audio Gifts someone can buy in the following price points (1 for each price):

  • Budget (Tiny Tim): $0 - $100
  • Entry-Level (Helper Elf): $100 - $500
  • Mid-Range (Frosty): $500 - $1,000
  • High-End (Rudolph): $1,000 - $2,000
  • Sky’s the Limit (Santa): $2,000+

Beyond aesthetics, many of us, both inside and out, of the r/VintageAudio community have found that vintage gear offers the most bang for the buck, and the reason why threads in r/Vinyl, r/Audiophile and elsewhere all point to Vintage gear for first time buyers. After 4 weeks of voting, results will be turned into permanent features in the community sidebar as the community's official recommendations.
