Aging ears

My standards have dropped along with my hearing acuity.

I am very satisfied with my Empire 208 turntable/SME tonearm + Ortofon M20FL cartridge with LFD integrated amp/built-in phono stage. It's not my primary system, but it may soon be as I intend to move out of a big house and into smaller "retirement" digs at some point not that far in the future.

The budget system that I had for many years and would be happy with again was a Thorens TD-150 (various MM cartridges) + Audible Illusions Model 3 preamp/phono + Dynaco Stereo 70 (Welborne mods). With judicious shopping, I could recreate this system (excluding speakers) for less than $1,000 today.
