Car parts, pcbs, odd electrical items definitely go in the dishwasher when appropriate! Never tried Salmon in it though, think I'll give that a miss (even if it's in foil!).
So you cook your salmon sous vide, then put a quick char/glaze/caramelization on it on the grill! Soy ginger perhaps?
Salmon... En papillote, usually, with sauv blanc, dill and garlic, or sear it for a few moments on the barbie! But today, it'll be fillet steak...

Another forum member told me that he had run his SSE board through the dishwasher a couple of times. I had an old trusty SSE that had been blown up several times due to experiments that didn't exactly end as planned, had at least two electrolytics spill their goo, and was generally tortured for all of it's life, so WTH, I tossed it in the dishwasher. Note that automatic dishwasher detergent is a rather strong alkali, so use it sparingly if you value the traces on the PCB. I must admit that it looked pretty nice when it came out. I'm not sure I still have it though, a lot of stuff went in the trash when I had to leave Florida in a big hurry.
Car parts.... no, I use a can of Gunk, some kerosene, a sandblaster, or a wire brush, depending on the degree of nastiness. Kinda hard to fit cylinder heads, a transmission, or a 3rd member in the dishwasher.
Our project cars in UK are generally rather smaller than yours, so a head would fit 🙂
US dishwasher detergent is evil stuff. Removed the writing off all the glasses and mugs we had!

I would admit to doing all of those things, but wrt salmon you'd better have a dishwasher with a water heating mode if you are going to do it quasi-safely. In all seriousness I would not do that today, but it did work.
Did y'all run a few rinse cycles before coming the salmon?! Yikes.
Anyhow, to answer the original question: SD symphony is pretty darn good and as a student, I can get rush tickets for $10/person. Since I like my gf, that's $20 for high end sound. 😀
Otherwise, I'm a tone deaf troglodyte, so headphones and a respectable sound card do me fine.

Never tried it, nor likely to. It's either a glass dish with some spices in the oven, or straight on the grill.
Tuna......get the grill as hot as it will go. The gauge on mine goes to 600F, it's pegged......then about a minute or two on a side and eat it up!
Does wonders for the carcase and panels old Hewlett Packard equipment.
Here's an amusing video of a Benton Harbor (Heathkit) veteran cleaning up a 6M SSB rig in the sink. He used it in the early 1960's with Motorola RF communications equipment. I've done this with Heath, Eico, Drake and Swan equipment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMe7Ed1Wn3k
Getting back to the topic at hand: Audiogon can be your friend for assembling a high end system at a knock-down price. The audionervosa phenomena compels audiophiles to trade their equipment as soon as the next pretty girl walks down the block. I have a dandy set of Dynaudio bookshelf speakers and stands which went for 1/6th the price of new.
That dishwasher soap is strong nasty stuff.
I cannot pass up a good buy at a garage sale even a stainless steel Thermos that no one can get the black nasty stains to come clean. Put a tablespoon full or two in the Thermos and fill it with boiling water and let it sit on the kitchen counter overnight. In the morning that Thermos is bright clean and shiny like the day it was new.
In the industrial world that dishwasher soap is hazardous waste.
