your first system-

My first system was two mismatched Sherwood tube amps ( kits, one 15 watts the other 25 watts) a Garrard TT and a pair of speakers with 8” drivers, I built into some bookshelves in my bedroom.

All the best.

Marantz speakers, Sanyo turntable, AT cartridge, Pioneer receiver, can't remember specific models.

1990 the year I graduated college. A pair of Def Tech BP10’s, a gorgeous built like a tank Pioneer Elite receiver and a Sony ES 5 CD carousel. Purchased from my first experience with a high end retailer called The Listening Room in Scarsdale, NY.

I still have the BP10’s in my storage room and I gave the Elite receiver and Sony carousel away in 2018 to our movers. I wasn’t using them for years but They both still worked 28 years later.

Heathkit integrated 60wpc amp a Thornes TD165 TT with Audio-Technica cartridge with Dynaco A25 speakers. This was in 1974 I was 18 at the time.

It was 1979, my sophomore year of HS

NAD 3140 integrated amp

Sony PS-X60 w/Shure V15 phono

Nakamichi 480 cassette

Celestion Ditton 15XR spkrs w/factory chrome stands

*updated Celestions with a factory kit to accept the improved tweeters ~ 1982

It was a great bedroom system.
