End of the World system

40 Miles with loads of equipment on my back? Then 99 percent of that high end trash is out of reach. So I would try to get what is playing "Wonders" by the Piano Guys at this very moment while I'm writing this: Marantz' Musical Link HD-AMP1 and HD-CD-1 with Kef LS-50 and a few good cables. The CD player is a fine machine, the amplifier's DAC is able to cope even with files of very high resolution - and has a usb port on the front. So I could take a world of good music with me carrying only a small usb stick. If there are no CD's left I'd leave also the player in the store. Okay, reading file data from Marantz' bulleye display is not really funny - but on the other hand I would have to carry home only a rather lightweight amplifier and a pair of super compact boxes to get really good sound I could live with - without dying from dehydration and exhaustion on my way back. Those little KEFs produce a stunning bass despite of being small and light and the Class-D-Marantz is able to power them adequatly.
What cables I would use? Silnotes or Morrow Audio as RCA interconnects, Audio Quest William Tell or Robin Hood as speaker cables. Enough for my cabin in the woods...

Perhaps you can train zombies to carry stereo equipment.
Wait, did we add the undead to this scenario or no?

Thanks to Zomcon zombies can be trained!

I really like the Mytek combo, since I have a Brooklyn already. This lets me pick up a big heavy turntable and put sculptures on it, since I have no idea how to set one up. ;-)

The remains of a high-end store are 20 miles away. What do you bring home, assuming you have to actually carry it back?
I liked the snake oil answer and along those lines...
anything with a port in it.
