Funny you should ask. This is how I did it in the past year....all pre-owned gear for around $10,000.00.
Lavardin IT
Linn Ikemi
JM Reynaud Bliss Silvers
Vintage Linn LP12 in NM condition: upgraded the bearing to Cirkus, the sub-chassis to Majik, the power supply to Lingo2.
The Reynauds' sound sublime at low volumes...perfect for apartment living. It took nearly 40 years but I finally got it right. And now I'm free to spend my disposable income elsewhere. Life is Good.
