Sorry for the length.  This piece of gear holds a special spot in my heart.  I blab on endlessly about it.  Forgive me.

Elac Debut 2.0 F-62 Speakers  https://amzn.to/3Jy6eUc 
Fluance RT-84 turntable.  https://amzn.to/4aMuZrt  I ditched the Ortofon 2M Blue for the Audio Technica  AT540ML.  The Ortofon sounded ok, but the AT cart is really on another level.
All line level cables are from Worlds Best Cable.  I primarily use Mogami 2964 Wire and Amphenol ACPL connectors.  
Miscellaneous items include a small format PC  https://amzn.to/3UbRKht  (Core i5, 8GB of RAM & a 256GB internal storage. 
I also have a remote-controlled line level switcher so I can run all my source components through the Lokius.  https://amzn.to/3w8IZwL
