What did your first "real" system consist of?

In highschool (1975) I purchased my first nice system and broke away from the family Lloyds 8 track/turntable/tuner combo. I purchased on sale the Radio Shack STA76 (12 WPC) on sale for $159.00 ($259), Miracord 45 turntable on sale for $259.00, and Sansui SP2000 speakers at $150.00 used. I had about 500 albums and later the next year transitioned from 8 tracks to cassette.

My first sepatrates came in 1988? I bought a Hafler 110 pramp $200.00 used, Dynaco 150 w/ meters $150.00 used, Thorens/SME3009 turntable $150.00 used, Panasonic MASH CD player $125.00 new, Energy Pro22 speakers $500.00 new, Monster Cable M1000 I/C @ $50.00 per set, and AQ Midnight Speaker cable cheap.

What did your first system look like or maybe your first steps into high end?

Good post...
My first "real" system was an Adcom 545 and B & K Pro 10 Mc. I had a pair of Mirage m 290s and Mirage powered sub. I had the Nakamichi MB3 cd player and Monster Cable IC. Actually, it sounded pretty nice. I still have the adcom laying around somewhere!! My how things change.
I was in College at the time.. Dolby pro logic just came out and no one knew that you werent supposed to listen to music that way? Go figure.
Happy listening,
Joe
