2CH Audio Wishlist!

[Johnny Vinyl]

Other than the subwoofer (I'm not a bass freak) my HT system is complete. I'm really enjoying movies now that we have BD to visually stun us. But I'm not yet satisfied. For the record, it's taken me over 2 years to assemble my system and I'm glad I took the time to audition all of the various componants I finally settled on. These choices may or may not suit you, but I'm very pleased by them.

However, movies/games are not my passion. I'm an audio guy and I love my vinyl.

So I'm in the market for a dedicated 2-Channel set-up. Money is a concern, but not overly so as I want to do it right and I don't care if it takes me 5 years to complete. (I'm a very patient person). Hopefully only 2-3 years, but you get my point.

I'm willing to budget between $10,000 - $15,000 (not including taxes and/or shipping or whatever). Cabling, interconnects is also not part of that equation as I'll start picking that up in between.

The componants I'm looking for are:
1. Power amp(s) (stereo or monoblocks)
2. Preamp
3.Turntable, arm, cartridge (with ability to upgrade/interchange)
4. Phono Stage
5. Speakers
6. Room treatments

Am I missing anything else for a purely vinyl set-up?

I'd love to hear some recommendations, so I can start auditioning and assembling a potential rough draft.
