It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system?


I've ha a stereo in one way or another since the 70's.

Right now I am listening to an Art Pepper LP I've had more than 20 years so I got thinking, what was my system like 20 years ago.

Here's the snapshot-

Magnepan MG2.6R speakers
Bryston .5b preamp
Bryston 4b amp.
Rega Planar 3 with Linn K9 cartridge
CAL Icon CDP
Onkyo T9090mkII tuner.

I think I had Naim speaker cable and Audioquest IC's.

The only thing I still have from back in the day is my Zerostat (red) and Shure balance beam tracking force guage.

What were you listening through in 1993?

- Maggie MG3A's (very heavily modified). Still have them sitting in a closet
waiting to find the time to repair the midrange panels.
- Moscode 600
- Counterpoint 5.1
- VPI HW19 MK2
- ET2 (still use it)
- Monster, Grado, ??? cartridges
- Straightwire cables

In a closet was also my first pair of Stax F-81's which frustrated the heck
out of me because I couldn't understand why my Moscode's 300 watts
couldn't drive them worth s**t. And then that same year I bought a Dynaco
ST70 (!?!?!) for $50 and FINALLY my Stax's sounded like music; not very
loud, but beautiful. What an education THAT was.
