at least in the context of whether vintage VCOs sound "better" than 
modern analogue, digital, or even software oscillators, a good amount 
of blind testing etc has been done on the AH list, by Ken Elhardt 
amongst others.

the conclusion is always that there isn't much audible difference in 
the sound of oscillators.

now when it comes to tracking and pitch wrt temperature and all that, 
they are somewhat different!
