do you already have your speakers? If so what are they as this info would be very helpful in selecting electronics for a good match.
My setup is based on this concept of great sound under a certain cost. Stated out with a $4000 limit. 

Once you get into it, the desire to improve the sound will make you desire better and cooler equipment. Stereo "porn creep" so to speak

Furman Line conditioner $150
Project Carbon Turntable $1000
Ortofon Blue Cartridge $350

a lot of posters on this site have spent many, many multiples of this.

Im really happy with my system. I am going to leave alone "for Now".
