Thank you all for your suggestions. I know I will have to (and really do want to) embrace digital streaming, but just not ready yet. 63 now and no kids in the house to help me through it. The calculator had not even been invented yet when I went through school. Sure, I can use the computer, but not so digitally inclined. Very satisfied with a really, really good analog set up and dinosaur CD's for now. No internet access in this property yet either. I had forgotten about McCormack's micro line. Nagra probably too pricey, Did not know the Rega player was so small, good idea. Also, I think now I do remember PS offering some smaller chassis units..I will check out most of your suggestions and see where it leads me. I am picky, so, if I go solid state, it better be very, very good. Reason I am even considering SS is that there will be times when visiting family will be using the house on their own.
