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?
128x128zavato
Acoustat X Speakers with the Acoustat dedicated tube amps
Pioneer C-21 preamp
Thorens TD 160 Super turntable
Mayware Formula 4 tonearm
Sonus Blue cartridge
Folks- thank you. It's been interesting to read what people used to listen too
Rowland Consummate + Rowland Model 8 + Magneplanars + Well Tempered Sign. + Benz Ruby nude + XLO Signature cables
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.

•Spectral DMC10-Delta Preamplifier
•Spectral DMA80 Power Amplifier
•Martin-Logan CLSII Loudspeakers-Audio Pro Ace Bass B5-50 Subwoofer
•MIT-Cardas-Audioquest-Monster Cable Interconnects and Speaker Cable

System has undergone multiple rounds of turnover of nearly every component since, with the exception of the Nak.
