Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
To me that’s a nasty question. For less than the cost of a high end vinyl set up one can get stellar streaming (with DAC). A blind listening test would supervise you. If the question was posted sincerely then ok if not then grrrr.  
Affordable US Made Tube Pre/Power or Integrated Options
PrimaLuma Integrated or HP integrated, Manley Stingray, Rouge Audio used will fit your budget. PL has a great remote. 
Tube versus SS

Cool it!
I use a single Cooler Guys fan 10” above PrimaLuma HP with KT120s. Can’t here it even when close. Had another kind but it made some noise.  
I can prove your room is bad
@erik_squires The room is essential gear.Marriage prevents me from adding panels and I image they would add quite a shine. When the curtains are closed the sound is much better.  
Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used)

Power Conditioners
Like you where I dwell the power is poor. First off a whole house surge protecter was installed when after a brown out knocked out all the AC unites and the septic pump failed. Good times in a California valley summer. Several others have counsele... 
If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this.
The longer I swim in this swirling vortex passion the more I know the room is key. Some or a lot of room treatments can not be ignored. Power too. The room daddy oh; the room will make it copacetic (said like Ben Sidran or Ken Nordine). For me Jaz...
