Plus outboard home studio gear (compressors, reverb, exciter, graphic EQ) and some video recorders (both camcorders and Hifi Beta/VHS machines) - and DVD recorder (Panasonic) and blu-ray player/recorder (same).

Home recording - first a mono portable radio cassette recorder (1973), then one or other hi-fi cassette decks, then a Yamaha 4-track cassette recorder plus external mixer (Dynamix), then a Fostex R8 8-track plus better external mixer (Soundcraft), then Presonus Firestudio 8-channel digital audio interface into a PC running Reaper as Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) external mics started with Beyer and AKG dynamic mics (shared with PA system) and eventually Rode NT1 and NT3's. with a Sony micro hifi system employed as soundbar (plays CDs surprisingly well as well for casual listening). Most/all still in use!Ī/V started with a Metz CRT TV in the 80s, then Sony, then BenQ, now LG flatscreen. Then in 1986-7, the system I still run: Rega Planar 3 plus Garrott P-77 cartridge (around 600 AUD each, maybe $800 US all up), a little Proton amp (similar to NAD), Infinity RS1000 bookshelf speakers plus later, a Rotel bitstream CD player and Triad powered subwoofer plus a few different cassette decks ending with Denon and Nakamichi.

Second system (university student days, down to 9 pounds/week): Micro Seiki turntable (60 pounds?) with Audio Technica Cart, Pioneer or similar receiver (110 pounds as I recall), eventually some KEF speakers (another 100 pounds+) and JVC cassette deck (100 pounds again) - from earnings in holidays I imagine! Quite a lot in today's money. first system (left school, first job, pay was eleven pounds/week): Garrard SP25 Mk2 turntable (?25 pounds) with some cartridge I cannot recall, Tripletone amplifier (30 pounds?), kit speakers maybe 20 pounds.
