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-

My 1st real system was a Dual CS5000 with Shure V15 MR that I still own. JBL L112's. Sansui AU-X1 with Audio control EQ. Sansui TU-919 tuner.And to think, I practically gave this stuff away to get into home theater.
