Here is a system I think would sound fantastic and be a lot of fun to own:SOURCES
Tunrtable
U Turn Orbit upgraded with acrylic platter and cue lever - $294
Replace AT91B with new AT95C - $40
(Use included cables)Digital
Mac mini with 2.6GHz processor, 8GB RAM and 1TB Drive as dedicated server/streamer - $670
Lacie external 1 TB hard drive - $95
External USB Optical Drive - $80
Pure Music 3 - $130
Schiit Bifrost DAC - $400INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
Rogue Audio Sphinx v2 - $1,495
(Includes built-in MM phono stage and headphone amp)SPEAKERS
Q Acoustics 3050 floor standing speakers - $700
(I have the little brother 3020 stand mount speakers and they are amazing for their price)CABLES
1 pair of Blue Jeans Cables LC-1 Interconnect - $35
16 feet of Blue Jeans Belden 5000 speaker cable - $18
AudioQuest Forest USB - $35No question you could do just as well for less on computer audio equipment, but I have listed stuff I know how to use and sounds good to me.
Total price is $3,922 before sales tax, but most dealers would discount the Rogue at least 10%. Also, this list assumes the buyer doesn't already have a computer or even an external back-up drive.

Great system Josh.
If you drop the TT - your digital system will already play CDs and stream. Upgrade the Bifrost to Multibit.
Two options depending on listening preferences.
Replace the Rogue with a Schiit Ragnarok (you get a great headphone amp).
Switch speakers to Elac B6 paired with a Rythmic L12 sub.
This system can rock.
Or same digital from end with. NAD 326BEE and a pair of Ohm Walsh 1000s.
A more spacious soundstage.
I haven't heard one since the Model 4 (I think) came out in 1982 (I think), but I loved it when I heard it at Tech HiFi and have always wanted to get a pair since then. I wish they used dealers.
