A lovely simple system:

Kenwood LO7C
Advent Powered Loudspeakers
Sony PSX75

Then a friend got an LP12 and it was all over for me.

When I was 6 in 1978 I got a big Philips 'tube' stereo recorder from my Dad. I remember the smell of the tubes when I started it.

In the late '70s/early '80s, I used Kef Corelli speakers with Audire electronics and a Dual 'table.

I just thought of another early system...hooking my Altec A7s (look 'em up) I used in the 70s for live band stuff to my KLH system sounded amazing...rare, but man...something about those Altecs was so sweet.
