What did your system look like 30 years ago?


As best as I can recall, this is what I had

Magnepan MG1.4 speakers; Rega Planar 3 turntable with a Linn K9 cartridge; CAL Icon CD player;  Adcom GTP500 II tuner/preamp; Adcom GFA545 amp

I still have my Zerostat which I bought in the 80's-
128x128zavato
NAD 3240 integrated
DCM Timeframe 400
Magnavox CDB650 cdp
Monster Cable ICs & speaker cables
Phase Linear 400 amp
Phase Linear 2000 preamp
Epicure Omin Directional speakers
Revox A77 Reel to Reel Swiss model
Empire TT 698
I was in the Army in the 70s and GIs were able to purchase gear for 1/4 of the price. It was crazy! It was a lot of fun! Not the Army part! If I remember correctly the A77 was under 500.00! Brand spanking new. I was 19 years old and buying all this high end gear! In the mid to late seventies this was top shelf gear.
1990 was before I began my high end journey.

30 years ago, my system was 20 years old.

Mathlexic? Or is it more of a logic thing?
