As a JVC Employee, working for over 33 years for this company, this gives me warm feelings, taking me back to the end of the eighties, beginning nineteenth, when we sold great audiosets. The SEA-M770 is a great equaliser and the AX-Z911 still one of our best amplifiers! Thanks for posting this!

I’m 65 years old. And proud to say that I bought my first stereo at 22 years old, in New Jersey 1978. I bought a Technics turntable, a pair of Japanese JVC speakers a Rotel receiver and and Akai reel to reel tape player. All in all I spent close to 700.00$$. Just the cartridges for the turntable were 35.00 dollars. All the components were great. The hard part was to take my friends out of my apartment. Remember guys in those days I was making 2.25$$ per hour. I worked hard to get it but it was worth it beyond expectations. The old stuff is way better than all the expensive ones from today. Those damm JAPS knew their own way in electronics. Blessings to all of you.

Awesome set up!!! Todays technology will never replace that unique ambience sound.

Oh wow! Beautiful piece of equipment, true hi-fi history! It sounds like the cassette deck needs the belts or pinch roller replaced, but it is awesome, thank you for sharing 😊

Yes back in the day rack systems were great. I loved the Fisher rack systems too.

What a timeless system. I had pretty much the same component for component, except 1977 Phase Linear components. Turntable was a Phillips, Reel to reel was Teac and speakers were Bose 901s on the A channel, and 801s on the B channel, since they were driven at 4ohms. But beautiful man. I miss the sheer force and power of component systems. Yours is gorgeous.

I know it's all very glam, but I miss these days. It didn't just sound pretty cool, it all looked super cool - a kind of sci-fi vision of the future in your living room, yet it's just playing music.
Today, I own high end HiFi costing more than a new car, and it all sounds incredible. Its my dream audiophile system, but somewhere along the journey the excitement and mystery I felt in the 80's and 90's seems desensitized.
I'm also from a sound engineering background, and though not working commercially anymore, I do own my own studio that's a technical dream, yet compared to the commercial studios of the 80's & 90's the same thing has happened. High technology today is amazing, but it doesn't look or represent how we envisioned the future back in the day.
In terms of what we can do in recording and playback technology its now mind blowing. Unfortunately most don't get to hear what real high end sound recording is like. And owning the gear to realise what's possible is a huge investment.
Today, most will use convenient replay systems or stream from music servers into smart phones or Tablets. It sounds okay, but far from what's actually possible.

One of the most beautiful systems ive seen

Amazing. Crisp. Audiophile. Vinyl. Speakers.

[CoolDudeClem]

Now THIS is a PROPER stereo system! Tape Deck, Turntable, CD Player, speakers that dont need a freaking "subwoofer" to help with the bass, and no Bluetooth/MP3/DAB Rubbish in sight.
