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?

I was running a Linn Sondek LP12 with an Linn Akito arm and a Linn K9 cartridge as well. PS Audio "phono link" pre. Audio Research LS3 solid state Preamp. ADC Soundshaper 2 graphic equalizer, Nakamichi cassette decks (bx300 and bx125). Had a Rotel am/fm tuner. Theta Digital Basic 2 transport and Theta Digital Pro Gen 5 DAC, Krell mda300 monoblocks running Martin Logan Quest Z's, and a Velodyne F18 sub. Audio Quest Dragon speaker cables (bi-wired) and Audioquest Diamond, Lapis, Ruby, Opal interconnects throughout, (RCA and XLR terminated depending on which components accepted balanced and which did not). I also had a red Zerostat too. Still have it today. Even have my original Disc Washer kit.

I was jamming to electric jazz fusion. Chick Corea Electric Band, Jeff Lorber, Richard Elliot, The Rippingtons, Joe Sample and the Crusaders, Al DeMiola, James Newton Howard w/the guys from Toto. Classic rock too.

Oh how those were the days! Great memories!
