Radio for a while, then Phillips turntable. The one that wiggled a lot with the cool green touch sensor.

A great system that just sounded amazingly better than pretty much anything my friends owned. I bought it from a serious hifi store in Honolulu that was fun to hang out in back in the day...I was playing music full time and pro gear used up my hifi bucks, so it was later that I could afford to resume my audio hobby in a more well funded way.
