I've got a mc250 & a HK twin powered receiver both about 50 years old and going strong and sounding great. 
Remove rack or console from between your speakers
My speakers are Magnapan 1.7i  so very dependent on space.

Your first system and your journey...
I also had one of those suitcase stereos by GE. Toke it apart and built a wood console to stuff it all together. Looked good! Than someone brought over the latest Beatles album Sgt Peppers. I thought something was wrong with the unit! Different so... 
How do you audition speakers at a store?
I live in the s.f. bay area and three of our best stores don't have thier systems setup for cd players. streamers rein.  Two did have a ttsetup on lesser systems. So your left with what is on your phone as a source. Anyone else see this trend? 
Upgrade turntable

Hi Jetter I agree with you on the belden speaker cables from bluejean. Made my system too bright. I made a pair of twisted cables that work well.  On the pressure , no worries.

I can DIY if you would be so kind to send any info. ThanksTo clear: that is just what I am asking from "experience ". Some unbiased audiophiles can give an honest answer based on years of experience.  
Listening in mono
So many of the stereo mixes don't really present a accurate sound stage .My favorites music is most often live venue recording with clear delineation of placement.  I think a mono recording might sound similar.  Anyway thanks for the  help.
