SOTA Sapphire/Magnepan Unitrac/Grace F9E Ruby (still use them, w/Soundsmith cartridge re-tip)
Mark Levinson ML-1 preamp (still use its phono section, accessed via tape outs). Also briefly owned a pair of Marantz 1's and a Marantz 7 around that time.
Various power amps, including:
Marantz 2's (wonderful!!)
Marantz 9's
Threshold S300
Carver M400t (vastly better than earlier non-t versions, and a very respectable performer, at least when paired with easy to drive speakers).
Stax Lambda Pro Headphones w/Stax ED-1 Diffuse Field Equalizer (still use them).
Rotel RCD-855 CD Player.
Various FM tuners, including:
Two different Marantz 10B's
Carver TX-11
H. H. Scott 311D + Fisher MPX-100
Fisher FM90X + MPX-100.
Teac Cassette Deck.
Pentagram P-10 Speakers (Revised Version) (little known and under-appreciated by some; these were excellent speakers that served me well for many years). Also briefly owned two different pairs of large vintage Tannoy speakers and a pair of B&W 801's around that time.
