Another one from yesterday's walk. He just appeared next to me. This was without a crop with the new 600mm.

Beautiful! A not-so-lovely day on the upper slopes of Denali (NOT McKinley) -

What a stereo and music collection looked like circa 1986...a turntable, a new CD player, some vinyl, a lot of cassette tapes, a few CDs and the ever-popular stack set. Who remembers?
Music has always been important to me. iTunes is my main source of music these days. Haven't had any cassettes in a long time, and I have a tower with a multitude of CD's which I haven't played in years. In the late 1960's I owned a stereo and record shop in Penfield NY, Still have a few vinyl records and Technics turntable, again rarely used, iTunes is so convenient. Shazam is a great app for adding new music to iTunes.
Baby Doll likes to camp out on top of the warm receiver, just pulled the cover off and vacuumed all her fur and dirt.
I remember going from lp's and reel-to-reel to 8-tracks to cassettes and the first time my brother played a CD for me on one of the earliest - and very pricey - players. Oh, shoot - I'm old!

I have been in the music/sound business since the mid sixties, like you I have had the gamut of devices. I vividly remember the first time I heard the digital quality of a CD, i went into a music store in Toronto and they had a Sony portable CD player on display and I heard Toto's 'Africa', I could not believe the lack of hiss from tapes, the lack of clicks and pops from vinyl, and the incredible dynamic range. I have sold all kinds of audiophile and professional audio equipment, and there is no way a vinyl disc can compete. A lot of people believe that digital audio is not pure because it cuts the music up in 48,000 little pieces. Play a record once and it start to degrade. Play a digital file a 1000 times and it is exactly the same.
I can vividly remember hearing that first CD on the earliest of players, a Sony - a classical piano piece that just blew me away. But that player cost a couple of grand in today's dollars so I had a wait ...

Me!! My parents had a large collection of vinyl, cassettes and yes 8-track tapes. My sister and I contributed to that. Sadly a series of moves across country, and life changes led to the collection getting sold, discarded etc. Funny I have a collection of CDs now in my flat I never listen to (well they are ripped onto my Mac) as well as digital purchases I rarely listen to as well but do streaming mostly now. I wonder what my niece will see. Kind of scared actually.
