Audiophile remembers the 80’s?

[Fireproof]

I’m not a true audiophile but I loved home stereos and drooled over the MacIntosh.

Ran across this video playing Rock Me Amadeus and it took me back. Figures some old folks here like me might enjoy.

I’ve been using Naim amps and electronics and a Linn turntable since the 70s..
Lots of upgrades over the decades .
Naim speakers active for the last 20 years.

Some pictures of my full spec LP12 except for the cartridge which isn’t Linn.

My system pictures were recently backed up by my son and I can’t access them at the moment.
