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?
128x128zavato
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.
California Audio Delta/Alpha
Counterpoint SA5000A
B&K M-200
Dahlquist DQ30I
Cardas Hexlink Golden 5C
Cerwin Vega speakers, Technics table, Yamaha tape deck, Harmon Kardon receiver.
Vandersteen 2Cs, McIntosh MC60's, ARC SP-6, SOTA TT w/mmt arm and Alchemist cartridge, JVC 1050 CD player and cheap homebrewed cables and straightwire speaker cables.

When I graduated high school in '93 I had a Kenwood cd player, pioneer receiver, Advent Baby II speakers and monster cable connecting everything and I felt like the biggest bad ass on the block.
