Thanks @yogiboy ! I was planning to add bacheaudio also. Quad has been on my list. Studio-electric is also good. Linn is a turntable company (to my understanding) and they may not get added. I am nearing a 100 companies and they may not make it...

I had a delicious slice of pizza for lunch. "then you obviously never had any Simaudio pizza, and it only costs 20 grand. The pizza you had absolutely sucks. All pizzas suck that's not Simaudio, and you would know if if you weren't so clueless. S...

nice budget. My "pricey" list would be Sugden, Simaudio, Hegel, Moonriver  
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
word of encouragement: if I cleaned them, I would screw up too. I couldn't do what @elliottbnewcombjr does, he is the scrub-master. (baby-safe) I take them to my local audio shop and run them through their machine.

Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed
McIntosh isn't the best value, if you want to maximize your $. Used Simaudio, Billie, Classe, Belles, Hegel, NAD, AVA would be on my list. There is a lot Sansui and vintage receivers on shopgoodwill. Only buy them if you know someone who can ser... 
Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed
@gkelly  Thank you! I just updated it too. I have been thinking about other components and the amplifier list is a great idea. The problem is, amplifiers are a much harder "taxonomy" for me, mainly because I am ignorant. I am also in the vintag... 
I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode
fascinating (if only I understood more than 51% of it), but still... and I am on the same page about the vocals. The only thing I can think of, your amp is more effortless in ultralinear?
