Since I fish in the cheap and cheerfull part of HiFi I often come across (and buy) pieces of HiFi from that era (which was quite tumultuous considering it starts with end of the vinyl era as a main stream medium and ends with the slow demise of CD and the rise of iPods and earbuds and shrinking of the HiFi market).
