I bought my Linn Axis turntable in London during the late ‘90s and travelled around the world with it. I also had a nice portable pair of Paradigm Atom speakers for about 15 years, which I passed on to a niece and replaced with some ELAC Debut 6.2s. My old trusty NAD 7020 gave up the ghost a couple of years ago and I replaced it with a Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 receiver. My wife and I decided on a drastic downsizing and I sold all my records and equipment over the holidays.
Concrete blocks make excellent stands. Use something in between (double sided tape or earthquake tape) so they sit properly, and they're about the most stable stand out there.
