Spending a month's salary
HiFi Rose 150b Streamer/DAC + Harbeths.  Then, take the family on a $10k vacation.

Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald?
James McMurtry has many great stories inside of many good songs. One that comes to mind tonight is “Carlos and Ruby“, wow.

Great Small Room Speakers for $3-5k
If you were going with the Fyne in that price range, I would recommend the F1–5, or the F 700  
Best turntable under $4000
Thorens 1601 gets semi-auto  
Vinyl record cleaning
OP, sounds like she left the records and the stereo, what else do you want? FWIW, I was gifted a VPI record cleaning machine, does an amazing job, even on bargain bin vinyl. Carry-on, good sir.

Thank you for your reply, and interested to hear your thoughts on the speakers. I’m glad to learn that you feel like they’re worth another listen and perhaps a trial. As an FYI, I’m from Virginia as well, Blacksburg.  I would be excited and willi...
