What did your system look like 30 years ago?


As best as I can recall, this is what I had

Magnepan MG1.4 speakers; Rega Planar 3 turntable with a Linn K9 cartridge; CAL Icon CD player;  Adcom GTP500 II tuner/preamp; Adcom GFA545 amp

I still have my Zerostat which I bought in the 80's-
128x128zavato
Dahlquist DQ10 speakers
Phase Linear 4000 Preamp
Phase Linear 400 Amp
Bang and Olufsen Beogram 4002 turntable
Zip cord cables
Infinity Reference Standard 2.5 Speakers
Perreaux 3150 Amp
CAT SL/1 Reference Preamp
Meridian 200/203 Transport/DAC
VPI TNT with Graham 1.5t and Koetsu Black 

   
Interesting thread.  Back then I had Duntech Princess loudspeakers, Audio Research Classic 150 amps, an Audio Research SP11 Mk II preamp, a Vendetta Research phono stage, a Basis Ovation turntable (had just gotten it, still own it) with a Graham 1.5T arm and a Transfiguration cartridge, and a Krell MD 1/64SBX (not sure of the model designation, it was then their best DAC) DAC combination.  Cables were a hodgepodge, but I did have very short Siltech speaker cables.  I think I may have replaced the ARC preamp with a Jadis JPL line stage in the summer of that year--the start of my descent into all tube electronics.
