Buy a used Braun A1/A2 amp (100-200$). There are maintenance handbooks online for both. Replace the two main condensators, which cost about 10-20$ each. Buy a pair of Canton GLE 200 or their presuccessors (100-350$). They didn’t change much in the last 20 years. Still very good, neutral and enough bass for a small living room.
Hook your Technics 1200 MK2/5 (1000$) with an all round needle (100$) to the Phono-In Cinch connectors.
Select your favorite vinyl from your collection, put it on the plate of the 1200. Move the arm on the first track of the vinyl.
Enjoy completely analog music without distractions.
The A1 boots in under 100ms, so does the Technics 1200.
Total costs 1670$.
Beats any Sonos etc. setup in sound quality and convenience.
Disclaimer: I have booth systems in parallel and I feel disgusted and disappointed every time I have to use the Sonos system now.
