What did your system look like 30 years ago?

30 years ago I had a Sansui AU217 driving mission 700s on Target stands and fed from either a Sansui cassette player, a NAD4020A tuner or a Townshend Rock mk2 with Rega 300 and a Dynavector 17D2 with a Tom Evans phonostage (the board was made by Tom but most were put in a box by Michell Engineering and sold as the iso, mine was a pre production test sample and I sourced my own box and an over sized transformer). 

Snell Type J IIs w/lead loaded Snell stands & Apature Accuflow speaker cables bi amped with a pair of B&K ST140 amps, Audible Illusions Modulas preamp, PS Audio Digital Link, Magnavox CD650 cd player used as a transport, AR EB101 TT w/Infinity Black Widow arm and a Sumiko Blue Point, all Linn interconnects. Total cost = $4,500.00 all purchased new. Enjoy the music

I'm going back to around 1980:

Rega Planar 3 turntable
Perreaux amp
PS Audio IV preamp
Nakamichi 481 cassette deck
Klipsch Cornwalls speakers
Monster Cable speaker wire at $1.00 per foot

All of this cost about 5K and probably could out-perform systems today costing way more. What does that tell you? 

1991: I remember it well,

JBL C50 Olympus w/001 System
Crown DC 300
Crown IC 150
Technics SP-10 w/Grace arm
Grado cartridge
Sony CD player

How about in the late 1970's?  Philips turntable, Shure V-15, PhaseLinear 400, stacked wood Advents, Kenwood tuner.  1979:  Kenwood marble TT and SME arm replaced Philips.  Forty years ago:  The same amp and pre-amp brand I have now (Audire), but upgraded models, plus stacked B&W DM14's, which are still in use on my televisions, one with Hafler electronics donated by a friend.
