Your first “high end” system


1990 or so 

Magnepan SMGa speakers, Adcom GTP 500II preamp tuner, Adcom GFA 545 amp, Thorens TD166 turntable with Shure V15 Type V, Cal Icon CD player 
128x128zavato
DCM Time Windows, AGI preamp, Marshall Leach amplifier, Technics 1200 tt with Denon 103d MC cart.  Also had a Teac reel to reel with Dolby, but I can't remember the model number.  It was a nice system. Don't know exactly when I had it because I can't reference the purchase to any specific life events. I still have 7" tapes I recorded from my better records, but I don't know anyone who would want them, even for free. 
Sansui speakers and receiver with AR turntable and Shure V15 also Sony reel to reel that i got in Nam 1968.
Rega Planet, Bryston B-60 and a pair of Definitive Technology towers I can't recall the model. This would be late 90s.
It's all relative, ain't it? One person's high end is another's entry-level. I've listed my journey in my profile if you want to make the call on where it becomes high-end!
