Just getting started on a budget and need bookshelf speakers/receiver now
Don’t forget the vintage NAD 7020, which is the 3020 with a receiver. Just got one off of eBay and had my guy replace some caps and clean it up. Total invested $200. Replaced my 15 year old Paradigm Atoms with new ELAC Debut 6.2s that we’re on sal... 
Modestly priced bookshelf speakers for cabin.

Just finished up Beausoleil “Hot Chili Mama”. Tarbarnak!  C’est bon!  Slaw, loving the Pro-Ject VCS.  Really speeds up my cleaning process.

Reubent, you’ve inspired me (again). I pulled out a freebie I got at a garage sale, Coleman Hawkins “Soul”. The sleeve was moldy and not salvageable.  The record had a crust (!) on it, probably from being stored in a barn.   Just passed it through...

Reubent,just found “After the Gold Rush” last weekend in a barn find. Looked rough, but for $1 I took a chance. I cleaned it up and played it last night. The platter looked VG but played a solid VG+.
