It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system?

I've ha a stereo in one way or another since the 70's.

Right now I am listening to an Art Pepper LP I've had more than 20 years so I got thinking, what was my system like 20 years ago.

Here's the snapshot-

Magnepan MG2.6R speakers
Bryston .5b preamp
Bryston 4b amp.
Rega Planar 3 with Linn K9 cartridge
CAL Icon CDP
Onkyo T9090mkII tuner.

I think I had Naim speaker cable and Audioquest IC's.

The only thing I still have from back in the day is my Zerostat (red) and Shure balance beam tracking force guage.

What were you listening through in 1993?

... come to think of it, same with the Krell cd players. Cost 2X more than my current PS Audio PWD MKII w/bridge. (-:

A snapshot 20 years ago would look almost like 30 years ago.
An early Apt/Holman preamp/Bryston3B(chrome handles-curley cord)
powering a pair of Kef 103/3 w/Kube speakers.
Linn LP12 / Ittok LVll/Argent Ruby and a Yamaha T-2 tuner.
I wore the lettering off the Apt/Holman and replaced it with a Bryston.
The Kef's, 3B,T-2 and the Linn still sound wonderful and all are 9 on the Audiogon condition scale!
