Wow
That is what they call nostalgia
My son uses my "old" equipment (Pioneer amp and two huge Bowers & Wilkins speakers) and it still sounds incredible.
I regret the day I gave them away

My stereo equipment is over 20 years, except the CD player that 8 years old and the TEAC turntable of 5 weeks old.
I have a mid-nineties Yamaha AX-892 amplifier with Acoustic Research AR-312HO speakers.
What's yours?

Well, I still use a Yamaha AX-440, from the early 90s, plus two custom built speakers that I bought second hand from the father of a friend - I think they are from the mid or late 80s. Always thought they sounded quite good.
The rest of my original stereo system - a turntable and cassette deck from the early 90s plus a second hand CD player which may have been from the late 80s, unfortunately all don't work anymore...
These days, I use my laptop to replace the CD player.
We also have a small stereo sound system from around 2005 (a computer system originally with one little subwoofer and two tiny sattelites) by LogiTech which in spite of it's small size sounds surprisingly nice (just the subwoofer is booming too much at some bass frequencies) and that fits nicely in our bookshelf in the living room, so that's actually the one I use most of the time out of convenience. I also have some old no name transportable CD player connected to it.
Hope to buy a new turntable and tape deck some day - then again, other items have more priority...

Great topic, nice pics.

Technics se-a900sm2 / su-c800um2 amplifier (1999)
...
Sometimes I like to put on the amp light at night and watch those needles move for a real sense of nostalgia - of course after covering the blue LED on the DAC.....
Things of extreme beauty !! I recall these amps, and wanted same.
I liked the Technics stuff and still do. They have re issueed the 1200 direct drive turntable and I am sure I read somewhere more Technics hifi is planned. Hope so, especially amps that look (and sound ) like your's Seren  I could be very tempted.

I have some late '70's / early '80's receivers (Onkyo TX-7000 & Yamaha RX-2000(?) ) that have been in storage for a few years. I know that they need a good overhaul and probably new caps to bring them up to snuff. The Onkyo is pretty cool, besides being big enough to land a plane on it, it has a hybrid display where there is still the slide-rule tuner plus a digital readout and good old analog VU meters. Sold it once a long time ago and was fortunate enough to be able to buy it back for what I sold it for.
