I agree that the M77 is ridiculously priced. Assuming you could pick one up used at half-price, however, that would be around $21k for a phonostage and linestage.
I think the Aesthetix Io phono and Callisto line with dual power supplies would be around $26k brand new.
The new Aesthetix Eclipse would set you back even more.
I'm not sure what the current ARC combo goes for.
