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
As way back as I can remember...
Technics turntable
Shure cartridge
Kenwood receiver
Teac cassette deck
Cerwin Vega 3-ways
Radio shack cables throughout (lol)

My last rig before a decades long hiatus...
Apogee Centaurs
Cal Audio Labs Delta/Sigma
Audible Illusions preamp
Counterpoint SA220 monoblocks
Well Tempered turntable /Grado
Kimber cable throughout 


Acoustat Spectra 33 electrostatic speakers, Kinergetics BSC subwoofer system, Counterpoint SA-220, Adcom GTF-400 pre-amp and a Magnavox CDB 560 CD Player.  My Pioneer PL-15 was collecting dust.  I still have the speakers, sub and pre, none are is use.
NAD 7140--still regret getting rid of that
Ariston Q-Deck

I don't ever remember a Harvey's in Mount Kisco. We went to the Sound Mill, owned by Martin G. (can't remember his last name)
Mine was bought from the owner of Audio Connection before John his name was Hart Hutchins I believe. It was a P S Audio pre amp with a separate power supply, P S Audio mono amps, a J A Michell Gyro Dec floor model don’t remember the arm or cartridge and JSE model 1’s.

More like 40 years ago, an older school version of what I have now.
Accoustat 2 + 2’s then made into 1 + 1’s even better imaging with Kelly Decca ribbons from 12khz up and two Kef B1814’s in 12cu ft ported enclosures custom by Neville Thiel (rip) from 60hz down.
Massive own made water cooled 150watt Class-A
