Once upon a time I had this...

Back in 1982, This was my setup. Note the crappy stand, as well as a clever use of mailing tubes. From top to bottom...
Dual 604 DD TT.
Nachimichi 480 Cassette Deck.
Lots of Copies, (cassettes).
RG Dynamics RG-16 Pro Dynamic Processor.
Nikko NT-850 Tuner.
Carver C-4000 Preamp.
Carver M400 Power Amp
Speakers. I had a pair of small AR's for the time delay, and a pair of large Advents, (utility), main. Yes, I want it back. The AR's, Advents, and the M400are in a landfill, the rest was sold off.

Just rebuild it, the memories are priceless! The gear is out there, you just have to find it again...

I thought about it. Decided to assemble a simple system. Receiver, TT, Cassette Deck and Speakers. At this time, keeping it simple works for my listening pleasure. As you stated, the gear IS out there. Someday?

The quest to find them again is half the fun...

Wish I could rebuild my old system with the NIKKO TRM-750 amplifier.

Back in '82, I'm pretty sure I was making about $7.00 per hour. I lived in a basement apartment. I spent a lot of money on gear as well as vinyl, and Stoly.
