What was your first system, & did you like it?

I don't know if this is the spot to post this. Please tell me if not. Since I just put my first ever system together, I would be interested in finding out what some of you started out with,whether or not you liked it, and how much it cost. Sort of a nostalgia trip. I know mine is simple and just barely, if at all, considered "audiophile," but for a first, I love it. So here goes for my humble beginning.

CD - Yamaha 845
Amp - Yamaha RX-596 (integrated)
Speakers - B&W 601

Total cost used - $458

My first personal system consisted of a Nakamichi TA1A receiver, a Sony second generation portable discman, a Luxman turntable, some speakers from a old Canadian company ESM (?), and Kimber cheapy cables throughout. Like Rar1, I was 13.

I thought this system was very good at the time. I really didn't have anything to compare with though. And, I bought everything brand new.
