What did your system look like 30 years ago?

Rotel RCD 990 (still have it!)
Adcom GFP 565
Adcom GFA 565 MBs
Thiel CS 2 2
AQ Midnight speaker cable
Very poor system that was irritating and wildly unmusical sounding. Borderline unlistenable. Got a McCormack DNA 1 to replace and Adcom amps and liftoff. Then got Thiel 3.6es (also still own them) and Earth orbit achieved. Added tube preamp and better power cords and balanced interconnects (SMc modded for balanced operation) and Moon landing.

How many of us still has any of the gear we had 30 years ago?

oldest piece i have is my micro seiki dd40 tt w ma-505 tonearm... had that since college in the early 80's - it still works great ... had a lovely micro acoustics and sonus blue carts - still have them but the styli are shot!

mapman,

Philips GA-212.  Had one in a pretty bad system--that was my best piece.
