As stated before, that's a personal decision as your not talking about a modern preamp. I've owned the a few of the preamps from the manufacturerd from 69 to 84. There is absolutely no sonic benefit to them vs a new unit. If you like the look, go for it. If your using any modern digital gear, hopefully its DAC is up to the high standards your looking for. I mentioned earlier if you want better sound get better speakers.

If you like the high output of the CWs, look at these offerings

They are very well designed, even with critical listening. There are a few manufacturers that check the boxes you like plus being revealing.
