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
Allison Ones, Audible Illusions 2D, Kenwood KD-500 TT, Grace G-707 arm, Dynavector MR 23 Ruby, Premier head amp, oak plywood rack, Monster cable SC, Audiquest Ruby ICs, Mod Squad 405 amp, Dual C-901 cassette. The analog setup was used for 13 years minus the cartridge, and the amp was used for about 13 years on its was to 28. Speakers for about 13 years also.

All bought new--Victor's Stereo on Erie in Chicago, Paul Heath Audio on Clark in Chicago, Quintessence in Naperville, And the TT/arm was bought from a couple of mail order warehouses in California.

Down to zilch....

Was traveling the country and Canada in a new 34' motorhome for 8 months at age 39 with spouse and Grace the Wonder Cat.

Only thing kept was a Niles Audio CPM-31 switchbox, because I correctly thought I'd never see anything like it again.

Still have it....still works. *S*  Better than me, age-wise...;)
Back then I was a primary school boy. I enjoyed a National (a Matsushita brand) boom box my father brought from the Middle East. It had a voltage selector in the back, and that was how I learned that not everybody uses the same voltage. 
30 years ago for some stupid reason I traded in my vinyl collection for cd’s. I did have a very nice Nakamichi system at the time. In the last year have gotten back into vinyl.
