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-

Hmm well they were my roommates and a long time ago. Don’t really know.

I think they were there for decorative purposes.  We were not so much ahead  of our time quite honestly to call them "resonators"  but why not?

I actively use my Tandberg 2080 for my garage/shop/speakers tossed out the window to back yard for picnics.

Loaded with features, excellent FM, adjust phono sensitivity to match Phono 1 to Phono 2,

Got it at Harvey’s, used shelf, another piece my friend Steve told me was coming out

Those B&O systems were so beautiful they made me drool.
Harvey’s Rt. 17 Paramus?

That’s where I believe I bought a Tandberg TR2080 new a couple years after that picture to upgrade from the Hitachi. Beauty! Sold it to a collector in Norway a few years back as it was getting a bit old in the tooth but always a top notch sounding receiver.

The Hitachi was my college receiver, the Tandberg grad school.
Harvey's NYC 45th street, near 5th avenue. I was not aware they had branches, they were medium to high end with active sales, before Sound by Singer ... other smaller boutique shops.
