What did your system look like 30 years ago?

1990 -

Turntable: Linn Sondek, Syrinx Arm, Accuphase AC-2 Cartridge
Headamp: Counterpoint SA-2
Preamp: ARC SP-6B
Amplifier: ARC D90
Speakers: Thiel 3.5's, Maggie II's
CD Player: Phillips 880

2020

Turntable: Dual 701, Accuphase AC-2 Cartridge
Headamp: Counterpoint SA-2
Preamp: ARC SP-6A (recapped)
Amplifier: VTL S150
Speakers: Thiel 3.5's, Maggie 1c's.
Disk Player: Oppo 105

Only the AC-2 Cartridge and the Thiel 3.5's are the same ones.
In between I had for eight years switched to a 5 channel surround system, but returned to stereo only when I downsized as I turned 75.

Wow, you people were a heck of a lot better off than I was in 1981 - I was 24, living in my first apartment in Chicago, $385/month, and saving up for law school:

Onkyo TX-15 Stereo Receiver
Biamp 12-channel PA Mixer through which all sources were routed
TEAC 3-head tape deck
CD Player (I think it was a Sharp)
TEAC R2R
Technics TT
Boston Acoustics bookshelves
Quadraflex floorstanders
21-inch Sony TV w/remote
VCR

I thought I'd gone to heaven with all that gear.  Buddies would come over to use the mixer to make DJ-style mix tapes with crossfades. We would even mix in movie quotes I'd saved on VCR cassettes. Hi tech and high times!

This was 45 years ago:
1975 System

Technics SP 10 in custom plinth, AT arm, AT cartridge,* ARC SP3-a-1, Dual 75a and old Quads. I still have the SP 10 and old Quads refurbished and running in my vintage system, and the Dual 75a is just sitting, needs to be refreshed. (Early high-end Shibata)

Thirty years ago, it would have been a pair of Crosby Quads, either an ARC Classic 60 or Dual 70 mk II amp, an ARC SP 10 mk ii preamp and Well Tempered turntable that had been heavily tweaked.

I had to do some thinking on this one. I sure wish I had photos of it. I still have the Gyrodec /Ittok with a newly ordered Sumiko Pearwood cart. The Maggies are serving as my rear channels in the HT.

Michell GyroDec / Linn Ittok LVII arm /Linn Asak cart.
Denon DCD-1500
Nakamichi ZX-7
Luxman LV-105
Magnepan MG-1 imp.

30 years ago I believe I had a Yamaha A-1000 intergrade amp, a top of the line Yamaha tt , a grado cartridge ( don't recall witch one) and a pair of jbl l100
