Cool setup you are running. I've got newer stuff now but I still have my old stuff from the '70's and it all still works:
Marantz 2250B receiver BIC Venturi speakers Garrard turntable with Shure V15 cartridge Teac reel to reel
I've got a ton of old LP's in the basement. I plan to set up the above and start playing the old LPs. My son like others has gotten into the newly released LP's which seems to be the latest fad now so he'll enjoy that.

Great topic. I still rock the older stuff, and the neighbors all complement the sound quality. The other day I had Smoke on the Water playing and didn't here the person knocking on the door until the song ended. He was just a solar salesman so I didn't feel to bad making him wait.
Pioneer SX-1980 AM/FM radio receiver, bought in 1979....the year I graduated. SONY TC-K333ESG 3 Head Cassette Deck Tape Recorder, purchased in the mid 80s. Technics Sl-q300 Quartz Turntable. Yes I still listen to vinyl. Cerwin-Vega D-7 monster audiophiles. I have replaced all the speakers in them though.
The biggest draw back is that its is NOT compatible with all the new technology for TVs, so I also have a Sony surround sound system and bluetooth mp3 player.
Happy Rocking!

I have (3) different systems.... * 1 for just music in the den * 1 for movies in the family room * 1 for music in my home office My favorite is the music system in the den, Marantz 2600 the most powerful stereo receiver ever built. 400Wx2, quartz-lock tuning, scope. Plus we have an extensive collection of audiophile vinyl and CDs.. Since we do product development/sourcing for certain major clients, plus AV install for home automation we have access to a lot of awesome products... Just my $0.02...

For laughs, my first stereo, bought at Sun Electronics in Columbus, Oh at age 15, summer of 1970. Panasonic, The Barrington, have the matching turntable and 8 track player/recorder. Later the same summer, same store, bought two Lantz AM/FM's, the first was stolen at school, still have the second. For Christmas 1972, received a Panasonic "toot a loop", lost to time...

Cool stuff so far! Now, for the other end of the spectrum, I present my humble 'systems'.......... My Dad's old radio. I think its from '69. When was the last time you saw any radio with a wooden case? . I use it to listen to local radio (re: very little). Plays surprisingly good for a single speaker, Don't shout me down too hard.........a google assistant. When I moved into my apt, the electric company I chose gave it to me as a welcoming gift. Too many bluetooth speakers sound 'tinny' to me unless you go with something like bose. This has some bass to it without sounding like one of those idiots that pulls up next to you at a light. It will crank clearly and it will rattle windows if need be. I play my spotify thru it all the time. My apt is just over 500 sq ft, so it works well for me. This topic has stirred up a memory from when I was a kid back in the '70's. I don't remember what brand it was, but my Mom went and bought a turntable/radio with remote speakers. The speakers were in boxes almost 30" tall. She got it all set up, put on her favorite record, and it sounded like........crap. It played fine, just sounded bad. Come to find out those huge speaker boxes only had 4" speakers in them! I had a set of Panasonic 8" speakers from a radio my Dad had given me, and I hooked them up and it sounded so much better. Only problem was I ended up with the crap speakers.....
