End of the World system

I would move ALL my belongings 20 miles to that stereo shop.
Screw living in the woods with one system. 

If we have well-dressed zombies, we should plasticize them and use them for furniture.

Here's my assumptions:
1.  My cabin had my current equipment and music media - albums, cds, tapes, hard-drive of music
2.  There's no more stream services operating
3.  I have some sort of wheeled cart.

If its 20 miles I can make many many trips...no one else is left.  Therefore, step one is to make sure the store has a good waterproof and dust proof structure.

My priorities are music media.  Then upgrading the turntable.  Based on the cartridges...I'd create a nice MC turntable.  After that its all gravy :) 

So I'm to assume all the talented musicians still performing music would be gone...
OK, never mind the weight, but Steinway is now making a piano which can play back and/or record thousands of songs via an iPad and solenoids under the keys. You click on Horowitz or Glenn Gould, or Oscar Peterson, etc. I would buy a few great-sounding acoustic guitars, a Matchless DC-30 Amp and some PRS electrics. Along with a great guitar rack. Also a few outstanding keyboards.
The sound system would have to be matched to the room I place it in.
Rowland gear would be nice enough, with a musical digital front end.
The turntable would have to be fairly compact and easy to set up and use- like a VPI or a Linn. I've heard and enjoyed HUGE speakers, but I would rather get something smaller that still does 20-20K, and it would have to look aesthetically appealing as well.
    But I would give all this up for a neighbor who could come visit and really play an instrument well and/or sing- Live.

You can copy one. You can build one. But there is only one Miller Carbon, and you’re a little late to try and create it. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 About 17 years too late to be exact.
