$2000 budget -- what to buy?


A friend is about to buy his first non-mini audio system and has a budget of $2000, which he is willing to spend on new or used equipment. Any suggestions as to what kinds of components he might consider would be much-appreciated. I was thinking of recommending a used Linn Classik and a pair of Katan or Tukan speakers to keep things simple, or alternatively, a used Rega Planet, a used Creek integrated and Katan or Tukan speakers. What do you think?

I would recommend the latter myself as it gives more flexibility in the future without having to sell off a complete unit and start from scratch if "upgraditis" hits.

I noticed that you have a full linn system...is that the sound that he likes? maybe he could look for a used linn integrated amp & a matching linn cd player (I see that there are no integrateds for sale currently however)

kudos on helping out your friend and bringing another soon to be crazy audiophile on board...good recommendation on the used equipment also.
