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?

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.

Didn't have much discretionary income and had lots of school and mortgage debt so same system as in the 80s and late 70s pre grad school. SAE preamp/EQ and power amp,Ohm C2 and Rogers LS3/5, Dual belt TT. Sole step up was a Sony CD bought by my wife for a birthday. Still have some of that stuff in a closet but system is improved today. Only got back into audio 6 years ago and went crazy buying a bunch of "new" used stuff...now trying to better match pieces to each other.
