I also have a full Linn System which is up for grabs Pre-amp, Monoblocks, CD, DAC, Tuner and Speakers. I also have some B&W Speakers up for sale. All mint. I look after my stuff.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.

Linn Majik DS-I streamer / amp
B&W CM-1 speakers
The system is connected to a network drive with all my CDs ripped to FLAC and also streaming from Tidal. All the network gubbins (modem / router / hard drive etc.) is in the basement and the Linn plugs into an ethernet port in the lounge.
I bought this system 10 years ago and have used it practically every day since. At the time it felt like an eye watering sum of money to drop on hifi equipment but has proved its worth many times over.

I have Trinnov MC-8 Pro room correction incoming this week too.
I have two home cinema systems as well which are based around Denon amps with B&W monitors.
They are functional rather than audiophile.

I was also, coincidentally chatting with someone in a hi-FI shop today about maybe getting a Naim NDX, but the “2” is £5k.

The Black Box is a good piece of kit.
Nice to be able to just connect through bluetooth to the I louds, and I check stuff on the PA in our rehearsal room.
Recently wired up my 90's Hi Fi, Pioneer A400 and Wharfdale Diamond 3s, bit of a revelation really.
These are by no means good components, but they have been with me since I bought them with an insurance payout for getting burgled, and there is no way I can buy anything these days, they all sound pretty spectacular to me still.
I'm using a Harmon Kardon bluetooth adaptor to stream from my I tunes library, via a Huawai tablet, using Foobar2000, and the speakers are connected with Monster cable, standing on a set of home made granite stands.
The amp is still being sold on ebay, for about the price I paid, so I think I have got my moneys worth.
I am hearing stuff I hadn't noticed in my Marilyn Manson trilogy collection, and the early Rival Sons albums sound spectacular.
My ears aren't worth an upgrade.
I would like to try some different speakers, something with a three-way driver. @TheMarlin has very kindly offered to lend me some Rogers to try.
Creek 4040 amp
Linn Index speakers
The original Denon CD player died and got replaced by a Cambridge Audio one, which also died. Since been using a Yamaha one that I bought from @strumjoughlamps.
Am happy to report I still am using exactly the same gear
If I don’t have the CD of what I want to listen to then I usually just have my iPad connected to the Marantz PM7200 amplifier via a “3.5mm Jack to 2x RCA Cable” which works great, & play everything through through Spotify.
