I'll have to second the Classe' 70. For the used price you can't find another that is close.
Also, DIY inter-connects. I order whatever I feel like trying from Parts Connection and solder away. Usually, after they burn in they sound fine. Presently, I've been using a copper/silver/teflon, braided to WBT knock off. It cost me maybe $40 or less for 2-1 meter pairs. They have all kinds of cable and you can even make your own home brew- Cardis.
Grado Headphone amp=$300.00
Grado RS2 Headphones=$495.00
Handmade sandbox for my Well Tempered Record Player. (Which also isolates the motor). My cost was $00.00. I had an old 1/2" cabinet that I cut up and assembled at a friend's shop. It took me 1.5 to 2 hour. After I painted it, bought some foam insulation strip and filled it with sand the total cost was maybe $15.00 to $20.00.
Blank CDR's to back up mastered live music. .60 a piece and going down.
Used Rega Planet.
