Yamaha Mans' system.

Ouch!

Things have certainly changed from 16 years ago.

And whilst the equipment has changed I bet your love of music is as strong as ever - it’s great to know the humble beginnings (comparatively) still bring fond memories

Currently listening to the exact system that was my first experience with good sound 30 years ago. 

Anyone care to guess the components? The Denon 1200 turntable is missing atm.

Close but no cigar.

NS-1000m purchased in 1982 from East Coast Audio in South Melbourne along with the Hafler pre/power combo.

Here’s me guessing in a room with a pair right in front of me too.

My pair were purchased in 1978. Not by me of course as I was one. Have my step dad’s receipt here somewhere too! 
Were purchased with a Nakamichi 600 series preamp and tape player.

Hilarious! I’ve had many sets of the M’s, at one stage I had 3 sets at once. 
My first pair was a mint pair of ebony 1000’s which I still have.

No no no

Mere coincidence. He got that name as he has a lovely baby grand piano and he plays and sings ballads for his neighbours.

He is the Yamaha man! (or has humour been outlawed now? )
