Forgot about my turntable. Been mothballed for years. I have a crate full of vinyl too.

Man I wish I had photos of all my incarnations over the years. A college roommate got me into hifi, got me exposed to adcom, Denon and phase technology.
First “good” piece, a Sony ES cd player, 229 model I believe. Still have it, still works as good as the day I bought it. Then, in 92 I think, got my KG4s. FF to 99/2000, my first eBay win was a backed into ( high bidder bailed at last second ) sunfire cinema grand signature. Then a buddy sold me ( for a song ), adcom gtp600, gfa545 and their A/C enhancer. Traded the preamp for a sunfire theater grand processor. Got more for trade in than I paid for the whole lot. Then a pair of phase tech PC500s, run with my trusty radio shack lamp cord speaker wire. lol. Got a set of kimber 4TCs and was stunned at the sonic difference. The theater grand wasn’t doing it for me, so after 6 or so months traded that in for the krell HTS processor. Then hi res audio turned my crank and I was investing in Marantz SACD/dvd audio players. Since I didn’t have enough of them decided I was going to get Sony 9000ES player…one never knows how many CD/DVD players one will need at any given time. Phase Techs weren’t doing so time to upgrade….after several hours of auditioning speakers I picked up aerial model 6s. Was pretty much complete by then… One regret was I never invested in a good turntable, had a choice between a B&O and a pioneer linear tracking job, the salesman did his job to perfection, but my 15 year old brain didn’t understand the point he was making….I still have the pioneer, and it still works, so there’s that.

I still have that same unit ,,, somewhere in my stuff.
Was running an indash AM-FM 8track when a friend offered me a deal on the underdash SuperTuner cassette that was fairly new. So I had 2 stereos mounted at same time , 8track and cassette. Cutting edge hi-fi set up for a high schooler in 1981 with a 75 Vega GT. |

Lmao! That was my first one as well. Pretty sure it’s residing in my parents basement.

My then girlfriend, now wife, bought it for me for Christmas. Still one of the coolest gifts I've ever gotten! I was thoroughly amazed by it.

My receiver for the past 45 years or so. Bought it new.
Nikko 1415. 175 watts per channel. Kicks a$$! Now I use Spotify for my input. Still have a turntable, cassette player, and a CD player but Spotify is too easy!

Bet that sounds good/loud. I think my Kenwood is 140 wpc. Would be nice to add a Bluetooth receiver to mine.

Back in the early 70s I had a Kenwood KR 7400 receiver, JBL L100 speakers and a Garrard Zero 100 SB turntable with a Shure V-15 cartridge. I thought I had arrived. Still have a lot of my LPs but none of the original stereo equipment. Sad.
