I bought a Rega Planar (not sure if it was a 1 or 2) back in the early 80's and it ended up being put in the loft as digital and CD's took over.
About 3-4 years ago I resurrected it and spent around £150 upgrading the motor on it to a much later one. Dont listen to a lot on it to be honest but I still love it and it sounds amazing. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Rega Planar.
I Can't remember what amp it is but I went for a stereo one but i also bought a pair of Wharfedales book end speakers and dont regret it.
In my main lounge I have a surround sound setup (invested in a set of Kefs) but also got a 2nd Zone setup in our extension bit for stereo sound. Bought a pair of Dali speakers - they are as good as the Wharfedales espeically if you like more bass sound.
I could spend thousands on hifi equipment but have a wife and am not allowed to 😂
