    Ishii insists the antique equipment creates an atmosphere that has been forgotten. The softer tones ease listeners and make them feel warm and relaxed.

    "Listening to their sounds, I can recall scenes from my childhood," he said.

    He's not saying it "sounds better" he's saying it reminds him of happier times. It's a novelty.

    For pete's sake you people will take any excuse to start throwing your dicks at each other.
