2. speakers

Looking for a good system for my apartment. Any advise?

I have a medium sized living room. Any ideas for this fledgling audiophile?
I'm looking for a decent turn table, amp, speakers and a cd player. Money IS an object so if there is anything you can recommend that won't break the bank but still offer a nice sonic experience (We love classical, jazz and the Grateful Dead).
Thank you.

After reading everyone's posts (thank you!) and doing a bit of research, I think I've narrowed my options down to the following:

  1. Integrated amp:  schiit ragnarok (comes w/built in DAC) or rogue sphinx and both come w/ internal phonostage  (I know some of you would suggest otherwise and instead go w/external DAC and phonostage but for my budget .. I'm OK w/it
  2. CD transport:  Cambridge Audio CXC
  3. Speakers: Wharfedale Linton
  4. Turn table:  Rega Planar 2
My question is, as for the cables, I'll go w/blue jeans but not sure how many or what type..? What other cables will I need?

Rega R CD player, Rega table for what you can afford, Rega RX 1  speakers and the rest on cables, stands, etc.  Signal Cable makes a nice product for little scratch.

I agree with the Rega CD player over any other at this price point.

fojomo, you need to choose a cartridge.
