The Horror
Learn to live with what you have.  But really, how much of this uber exotic stuff do they sell?  An acquaintance of mind just recently took possession of a Ypsilon CDT-100 CD player.   They're built to order and took him eight months to receive.  ... 
Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ?

@antinn,  "the devil is in the details, and oh by the way, the book is now 192-pages."     Boy, now when I want a book put me to sleep, I can retire "The Dancing Chain" a riveting story of the history of the bicycle rear derailleur.

Found a Milty Zerostat alternative
Worth trying.  I own a Zerostat that I purchased in the seventies and still works.  I don't know if the new models can do this anymore but when you aim it at a fluorescent light bulb, it will light up, even four foot long bulbs.  
How would you spend my next $5K?
Room is the issue for me to add components, but for the money, eh, maybe a bit more, a Naim Uniti with a 20 terabyte drive.  A local dealer that sells it would include his entire library, 16 terabytes of hi def music.  Music of every kind mostly r... 
Are You a Swifty?
Wasn't she a country star?  She seems to be a chameleon, whatever the producers want her to be to be a successful commodity.  I thought her outfits on the last tour; a majorette, a playboy bunny in cowboy boots from the movie "Apocalypse Now" look...
