The 1970s Definitely Audio Equipment started to floor our shores .Good Equipment Pioneer, Sony,Kenwood, Sansui, a few of many that sold great equipment. That you can still find working today.

Music for setting up speakers
I would use the Doors First album,Vocal and music.Plus you  get the energy and loudness you need to set up the system.You want vocals Joan Baze ,Diamonds and Rust.Good Luck. 
Inexpensive passive pre

old expensive cd player or new cd mid price ?
New equipment is always nice to get,but I feel just get a new dac and keep the old cd player as a transport.  
Upgrade my CD player or buy a DAC?
Isn't a cd player just a transport with a built in dac.If so keep the cd player and just get a better dac. 
Upgrade my CD player or futile effort?
The thing that I find interesting streaming music is down loaded music from probably a cd played music.So isn't just cd music.?
