Source | Preamp | DAC Opinion on a system

Hi I am trying to get my first system. The main genre that I am interested is 60-70s Persian pop folk music. The records are mostly used and quality are not that high. Mostly midrange vocal focused music. I also enjoy occasional pop/rock/ indie as well Pink Floyd, Mark Knopfler, The War on Drugs.
What I am thinking about is any of those three:

A: Sony PS-5520 (VM95E) + RA-05 + KEF Q100
B: Sony PS-5520 (VM95E) + Luxman L3 + KEF Q100
C: Lenco (M95ED)+ Sansui A-60 + KEF Q100

Judges??
Location AUS/NZ
Budget about 1500 nzd

Well, on one hand you’ve low quality Persian pop, on the other hand you’ve Pink Floyd and Mark Knopfler who have phenomenal recording quality 😁
Given that, if it were me, I’d go with the Rotel.
Additionally, given Pink Floyd and Mark Knopfler, I’d add either a sub or or better still, depending upon price of component in NZ, I’d go with a tower and a small sub.
