I'd agree with Technics. The SL-D3 is a good one, too. I picked mine up at the swap meet for $10.

Stanton T52 is pretty good. Technics turntables start at about 500 bucks. That one is affordable and is pretty good IMO. Try to get a vintage Marantz receiver if possible. Those things literally last forever, and you'll never get power trips or anything like that. A lot of the new ones can't handle speakers with anything more than a 16 ohm impedance.

Can't go wrong with polk audio or boston acoustics. I prefer cerwin vega's

Now if your turn-table connects to Bose, pos dale gas.
