Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening

You mentioned vintage look and  having Yamaha in the past.  Have a look at the current Yamaha integrateds.  The A-S2100 and the next up A-S3000 are on sale at MusicDirect.     

I reiterate what rstheno had to say. VPI Prime. Soundsmith Zephyr mimc.

Rogue audio cronus magnum ii with the kt120..

That leaves over 10k for speakers. I have a long history with Klipsch but I would go for sonus faber Olympica 3 or vandersteen 5a used or audiophysic Avanti  (new series)

The listed 590 ax Luxman is tempting, but I must be patient and get moved first.................

I hope to listen to that specific set sonus faber speakers and the vandersteen quarto wood ct -- devore gibbon x and the box types devore 0/96 -- maybe even the harbeth box 40.2 -- the vandersteen 5A is outside my budget for this first setup.. Also it brings on another separate discussion on speakers with built bass amps - version passive bass stages in the speakers I have been mostly looking at.   I may stretch speakers to around 12-14Kish, but was hoping for 5-10K as the overall budget was 20ish -- we will see -- I may start in the 15-20 K range for all the sundries and the update as I learn and experiment

starting point is modest memory replicant -- TT - I-amp - speakers with a retro feel and experiment from there

thanks for all the input -- I will get down and serious on buying after I get moved and have a new place..

Are you people saying that this Luxman would overall be better than Pass INT-60, phono aside ? I am not familiar with Luxman.
Another theoretical possibility is JM Focal Utopia. It will require tube amplification and well matched cables or it will sound bright.
Something like this or higher:

Rogue and Yamaha won't do - the man is aiming at higher performance level.
