RE: Remembering some past systems

Elementary School years:
- Dad's tape recorder, 5-tube AM table radio, record player in a box with the folding lid and speaker up front. Any larger outboard speaker I could find to replace the ones that were built-in to the equipment.

Jr High into High School years:
- RadioShack / Realistic all in one Receiver / turntable combo with Realistic bookshelf speakers. I don't recall the model numbers.

1980's:
- Used Kenwood KA-8100 (or similar) integrated amp. Don't recall the exact model but it wasn't 'high-end'. Akai cassette player. JBL L-100 Speakers.

Early 1990's:
- Sony Receiver. Sony cassette player. Sony CD player. JBL L-100 speakers.

Mid 1990's:
- Used Classe DR-10 amp. Used Classe CP-45 preamp. Used Cal Icon MKII CD player. Used Thiel CS1.5 speakers.

I was hooked after that and have had literally a dozen or more SS and tube amps over the years. Same for linestages and CDPs. My only serious speakers since the 1990's have been: Tannoy Definition D500s, Thiel CS1.5, Thiel CS2.4.
