Sound system

TLDR: Sound system
In the forum thread, Harry discusses his current basic sound system setup and reminisces about his previous surround sound system. He expresses a need to live with his basic system for the next six months due to logistical constraints from a recent move. Ozzy47 mentions having a rack sound system stored in his garage for about ten years, which leads to a clarification for Harry about what a rack system entails. This system is described as a collection of stereo components, and Ozzy47 provides an image attachment as an example. Harry inquires about specific components like VCP and cassette players, reflecting on the nostalgic value of such older systems. Lavalamp joins the conversation, sharing a personal anecdote about their parents owning a similar rack system. Harry concludes by comparing the excitement and perceived advancement of owning such a system in the past to the admiration of early Pentium processor computers, highlighting a cultural appreciation for technological advancements during the 80s and 90s.

I have a very basic sound system in my current living space. It was tiring to keep my favourite one because there were a lot of other packages to move to this one. I had an assembled surround system. They do it for you locally. And it was amazing when those speaker specific scenes happen on TV.

I will have to live with what I have now for at least 6 months.
 
What is a rack sound system ? Is it a particular model or type ? I know some basic brands and terminology. But not a technical person in this topic.

I think we need to use electronics every now and then. To make sure that it is working.
 
A rack system is a bunch of pieces that make up the stereo system, similar to this.

VCP, Cassette Player, what's the third one ?

We had something similar. From the old days. It is not working anymore. But we still have it somewhere. Mainly because it is a part of nostalgia.
 
The appearance is very exciting. If we lived in 80s or 90s and found this with a neighbour, we are going to feel a lot of " he has got this super cool and advanced system ". The same as how people were so impressed about those Pentium processor computers.
