Looking for Advice To Build a Small System Around Thorens Turntable


I'm looking for advice and input around building out a system around a turntable I've been gifted by a family member. Apologies in advance for my limited knowledge in this area. The turntable is a Thorens TD125 MKII that I understand has been well cared for. It has an SME tonearm and Shure cassette, but no idea which models or how to figure that out at this point. My hope was to set it up in my home office (12' x14'). My musical tastes are pretty broad, but if I was trying to focus it'd be acoustic and rock in the Dire Straits vein. Would love to keep the cost under $5000 for amp and speakers... oh and might like to add a decent CD player to the mix. I've been reading through the forums and seeing so much info covering so many specifics, but was hoping for a few condensed possibilities that work well together. Many thanks in advance.
