Had the MD deck since new (2000 according to minidisc.org). Tape deck was £12 off ebay a few years ago when my separates one died.
(Packing blanket is down to me currently decorating!)

Arcam alpha amp paired with mission 770 speakers and a technics turntable retro enough? I bought the amp second hand 20 years ago

Yes - but you can't be arsed taking a photograph?

Crimson monoblocks, Ruark Icons and AVI Minitrons. Not quite pre 95.

My sister has my dad's stuff AR turntable and 3as, Harmon Kardon receiver.

OP it's not expensive to buy...

Technics Sl-100 linear turntable.
Tannoy speakers - M20 Gold.
plus Arcam alpha amp.

No pics, but...

NAD 3020i amp from around '94, as well as some TDL RTLII MK2 speakers and a Luxman D322 cd player from around the same time.

I've got a portable CD player in the loft, but it's from around '99.

Back at my Mum and Dad's I've got a Hitachi 3D superwoofer ghetto blaster with twin tape deck. That must be from around '91-'92 I reckon.

A Bang and Olufsen Beomaster 3000, like this:

I have some Yamaha NS10’s, which are on permanent loan to my brother...thanks for reminding me!

TJ I had similar Arcam alpha amp paired with mission speakers with marantz cd & tape deck. Gave it away to a bloke at work last year as it just sat collecting dust.

Thanks for your efforts with the pic's

Couple of years later than 95 here so no pics for you 🙂

Sorry derek.
Have a look in any recording studio...

Have you tried a Google image search Derek?

I hear it's quite good.

Still in use l, around 1987, Monitor Audio R300 MD’s

Also my Marantz CD80 from couple years later

My Lynx Stratos awaiting repair

And finally my Musical Fidelity pre amp also in storage
All library photos i’m afraid

I have a JVC separates system from 86 which had 'touch' controls on everything, including the double tape player... Still in use.

I used to use this

Which was my granddad's, I replaced it in about 2005.

I still use the turntable though

It could do with a new cartridge and I'm sure there's plenty out there that sound better, but partly for sentimental reasons & because it's a nice thing. Early 80s I think.

For a while I used this Dual CS 505 while I was waiting to recommission the Beogram. Early 80s I think as well.

Dual turntables were great sound just dodgy lids probably hated uv, im listening to cds just now Trojan records reggae love songs cracking sound with my Marantz 50se from '91, sony amp and a mix of speakers Mission m33i and acoustic energy the other

I have that Dual turntable in the attic, bought it in 1982. If we ever listen to vinyl nowadays we still use the wife’s systemdek 11 from a similar age. They used to have one in the National museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

I have the Systemdek biscuit tin with a Mission arm Nagaoka cartridge needing a wee repair i think my Siamese cat pawed the spinning record too much, she is long gone and so have Systemdek turntables

My ELS 63s.

The 909 amp that feeds them.

Derek wants some pics - so borrowed from the internet:

NAD 3020i

Luxman D322 CD Player

TDL RTLII Mk II although mine aren't the SE version

Oh, and an Aiwa ADF-450 although it's not been hooked up for several yrs...

Well, that worked...... 😉

Michell Engineering Syncro (lid got smashed years ago)
Still had my original Tannoy speakers until lost in a flood in 2015, the Harman Kardon amp died in 2010

markie has won.

I can't be bothered to dig them out so you'll have to believe me - Linn Sondek with Ittok arm, Sony Professional Walkman.

Could only find this pic with the purple hammerhead (1985 vintage?)
8000A is 80s, I've had it since mid 90s. NAD turntable might scrape in too, think I bought it around 96? Much missed Celestion Ditton 33s not in pic, OH mothballed them saying they were ugly...

markie has won

With that ... er... sofa! woo, that is a thang.

Blimey, surprised to see Dual get a mention by several folk. Only have the amp and tuner left and still going strong from *I think* the early 80's. Will post a pic tomorrow.

This is my very first music centre bought late 70’s when I was 16, getting the Punk cranked up . I still have it up the attic too. https://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq43/henryk67/trial/Screen%20Shot%202019-03-01%20at%2022.51.03_zpsbzip6muf.jp g" target="_blank">https://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq43/henryk67/trial/Screen%20Shot%202019-03-01%20at%2022.51.03_zpsbzip6muf.jp g"/> [/IMG][/URL]" alt="null" />

My turbo set up at work has a pair of Bose 802's which are from the mid 80's. We've still got a few AKG 451 mics in regular use which sound really nice to this day. they were pretty much tv studio standard in the 70's and 80's. We've a few minidisk and twin cassette decks somewhere on a shelf.

I bought my Dual turntable from Laskys top of Leith walk probably where the Omni centre is now, not so many hi fi shops about now maybe the same folk are now roastin beans and pourin cortados

Linn Karik CD player.
Mission Cyrus 2 with PSX Amp.
All still sounding great .

Good effort all who posted pics.

We can all Google image FFS.

I was interested in STW folk's gear.

Arcam alpha 6 and 7 power amp, linn speakers.
Still in use, the keilidh could do with a new tweeter it's cracked.

A Bang and Olufsen Beomaster 3000

That's exactly what the REAL glen Quagmire would have.

With the hifi rack next to his sheepskin rug. Giggity!

Arcam Alpha 9. Not as old as some but old enough. Great CD deck as well.

Dual 505 in the loft somewhere, along with the Mission 700's. Just got rid of a tape deck, I think I still have the Phillips 104 CD player somewhere.

Still using Dual 505/2, in fact I've just replaced the amp leads. Plus, a NAD CD player and a Cambridge Audio amp from around the same vintage (about 1990?). They sound great - far superior to friends' streaming-type equipment.

My dad had that same B&O (along with several other bits of B&O including TV, video recorder etc). We were incredibly fortunate that he worked as a TV engineer and could get massive discount on it

Seeing as you asked so nicely Derek 😉

Turntable bought new 35 years ago and I don't think I have used it for 20 years, cassette player bought new 25 years ago and I think its been used about 3 time.. amp bought second hand 20 years ago, Radio second hand 20 years ago

FFS! Buy a duster and some Mr Sheen man!

In the loft I have a Technics CD player, Yamaha Amp and a pair of Acoustic Research speakers dating from 1988, a JVC turntable from early 1989 and a Kenwood cassette deck from later 1989 all neatly packed away in their original boxes and polystyrene.

They will be redeployed later this year.....

Civility costs nothing TJA 😊
