Re: Keep radio original, or improve it?
Each to his own, but, yes, I'm another for whom an essential part of the joy of using vintage equipment is experiencing just the quality of sound its period design results in: which can include hearing the results when music of a later origin is played through that equipment. If any simple measure would significantly improve the sound quality of my main stereo system I'd probably be up for that, because although the system is bordering on vintage (40 year old amplifier, 55 year old speakers) it's in the house to produce the best listening experience I've seen fit to pay for. So I use it when I want to listen to music, and use a valve radio when I want to listen to a valve radio.
