I picked up a gently used Cambridge AXR85 from an older hifi head on of marketplace.  Sounds phenomenal.  The MM phono stage is amazing.  The sound is insane!

Cool! Congrats. 

Getting those speakers up off the floor and closer to ear level will dramatically improve your listening experience. Speaker stands can be found for pretty cheap or free on CL, FB or at garage sales or flea markets. Probably the biggest "bang for the bucks" improvement you could make right now.

Heading out of town for work for two weeks.  Stands are my next piece for sure.  We just moved around the living room and the shelf that I previously had them on was ear level, but it won’t work where we moved the stereo.  If I sit cross cross applesauce on the floor about 6 feet away it sounds phenomenal. Been listening all day and I am happy, there is maybe a small loss in warmth, but I can hear details like the guitar amp vibrato throb at the end of songs and little stuff like that that I couldn’t hear before.  Here is hoping this one lasts at least a decade.
