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?

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!

As a follow up to my previous post I was looking at some old photos the other day and realized I also had a Cary SLP 50 preamp as well as a California Audio Lab CL 10 circa this date, maybe 1995-1996.
