Budget system around 1K

Your "all-Rega" system is the joint. Don't deviate. Get a Brio (it's amazingly great with a killer phono stage), the Rega R1 and stick with your Rega TT. You will be happy.

Tandberg 3012 or 3012A integrated or Audiolab 8000A integrated (original British made not current), any of them around $300-$350. All have MM phono, not sure if you can run LOMC with them. I wouldn't. As for speakers..yes, older Snell or Audionote or some B&W. And some cables, of course.

1) Rega Brio 3 is a fine option and has a decent MM phono input - there's one that just got posted for $425!

2) Energy RC-10 speakers (new at $300 - just posted). Find the SoundStage review!

...leaves $250-ish for cables and possibly an HRT iStreamer (one listed now for $160) to make your iPod a decent source.

Good luck!

Rega Brio 3 and R1 speaks would be great and well within budget. I am with you and the iPod thing.....however, I finally researched a lot and ended up with an iPod Nano 5th generation which sounds best of the lot in many people's opinions.

A Rega Brio 3 would be a great option. It's a great little amp, and, while I haven't heard the phono stage myself, it's supposed to be excellent. Speakers are a personal choice, of course, but many people swear by all-Rega systems as excellent value for money, and the R1s are great and very unfussy about placement. Totem are also said to be a nice match with Rega electronics. A used pair of Dreamcatchers would fit your budget. If it were me, I'd keep my eyes open for a pair of Snell Ks or K/IIs or Audio Note AX-2s. I have an original Rega Brio and Snell K/IIs in my office (which together cost me $400 used), and it's a great setup.

I believe the Rega Brio comes with a phono stage and for the $ is quite highly thought of. Epos speakers would also be a good match. Consider budgeting some $ for cables as well.

Obviously s/hand will help a lot. Maggie 1.6 or earlier/Celestion sl6se SL600si or sl700si are wonderful. Certain B&W speakers, older Quad floorstanding cone speakers (not the electrostatics simply due to budget), Midrange magic. Totems tighter better bass, and perhaps a bit less magic.

NAD electronics very solid. good luck and pls keep us posted.

OK I'll stick my neck out here:
I recommend the B&W 685s used, there is a great review on the TAS website. I own these and really enjoy them. There's a pair on ebay right now...
You need an integrated amp with a phono input. Currently listings on A'gon that I think would mate well with these B&W monitors:
Rotel's ra1062
Creek's 5250
If you can find the NAD c356, it would go well with the 685s also, and it has separate phono stages for MM and MC. Its a little more expensive tho.
Not sure how the Rega gear sounds because I have never heard it. I have only heard the above gear with a CD source, so consider that as well...Happy hunting.

So $1k for just amp and speakers? You will also need a phono pre most likely to I am guessing, since you mention the Rega.

One possibility might be the Audioengine powered monitors and a preamp...
