Thought it would be fun to show pics of our old systems from the past.





1981 - (Just after I moved to Austin after graduating Texas Tech)
My first real stereo was an SAE electronics rack similar to this one, along with some JBL Jubile speakers & Denon turntable.
Bought it for $2000 from a buddy of mine.

Screen Shot 2014-11-11 at 4.10.02 PM.pngI am going way back to around 1980 with this shot. (You can tell by the shag carpet and macrame hanging)

Those re my DQ-10's, GAS Ampzilla, Nakamichi 610 -pre, SAE Tuner, Sony Cassette and hi end 8750 TT, Audiopulse digital time delay. There is a AKAI tape deck in the left lower cabinet.
 
The attic of an old farmhouse, it probably was still for hay storage twenty years ago. With its very high ceiling and cathedral roof, it is an awesome listening room... in the summer. Comes fall, I would bring the whole system back into the house.
 
Well here is a few..... not quite as old as the last couple! :D

This guy is still working and tuning in distant stations and resides in a little rustic cabin in the Pocono Mtns. For the last 30 years, it has been frozen many times every winter.
