What did your system look like 30 years ago?

oregonpapa,

Surprisingly (to me), my first speakers surrounds decomposed, amplifier’s lights and one meter died, volume knob started acting up, but turntable is, as I write this, running like the first day. They do not make them like they used to. Or do they?

Was in my Naim phase then--62/HiCap/140 driving Proac Tablettes. Had either a VPI HW-19 with an Alphason HRS-100 and a Garrott P-77 or a Townshend Rock with a Rega RB-300 and an AT MM cartridge--can't remember. Digital was probably a Rotel RCD-855 or still my Meridian MCD. Long time ago........

I'm not that old, I was 10 30 years ago. But 20 years ago..

I still use the amps to this day and have gone back to the Yamahas every few months. But I still have every piece of this setup, with the boxes and crates.
