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-
128x128zavato
Infinity Reference Standard 2.5 Speakers
Perreaux 3150 Amp
CAT SL/1 Reference Preamp
Meridian 200/203 Transport/DAC
VPI TNT with Graham 1.5t and Koetsu Black 

   
Interesting thread.  Back then I had Duntech Princess loudspeakers, Audio Research Classic 150 amps, an Audio Research SP11 Mk II preamp, a Vendetta Research phono stage, a Basis Ovation turntable (had just gotten it, still own it) with a Graham 1.5T arm and a Transfiguration cartridge, and a Krell MD 1/64SBX (not sure of the model designation, it was then their best DAC) DAC combination.  Cables were a hodgepodge, but I did have very short Siltech speaker cables.  I think I may have replaced the ARC preamp with a Jadis JPL line stage in the summer of that year--the start of my descent into all tube electronics.
