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?

In the 90's, my system was Krell KSA100s->FPB600, Sonic Frontier SFL1->SFL2, Mirage M3si->Gallo Nucleus Ref (ones with 2 balls and a can on top), Krell CD players, Technic Turntable and MIT ICs/SCs.
Not in my case, current system is much much superior ... No Contest!

I just realized my Krell FPB600 bought new back in late 90's is 2X more expensive than current amp not accounting for inflation ... same with the MIT ICs and SCs. I guess I have different priorities back then, earning less and spending more.

IMO, the Krell is still competitive in current market but NOT the MIT cables.
... come to think of it, same with the Krell cd players. Cost 2X more than my current PS Audio PWD MKII w/bridge. (-:
