How much to spend on analog to get a decent sytem?

Now I am using the CAL IconII CD with AES SE-1 300B tube amp and Silverline Panatella II speakers (no preamp.

I have been thinking about upgrading my CD player, probably to either a Jolida 1000 (w/ upgrade tube) or Cary 303/200.

However, I have a second thought about moving to analog as well.

So if I would jump into the analog world and wanna built analog system (everything, including phono pre), how much I would have to spend to get a decent result at least comparable to these CD players I mentioned? I know many people will say there is no comparable, but as I come from digital world, it's good for me to get at least relative idea to compare it, a first order will do.

Thanks a lot,

Ake

Yeah, I'd say th P25 is the lowest of what Could be comparable to those CDPs, while the Spacedeck is better than those CDPs.

-also coming from a 0101 world. I would like to hear from an analog-is-life-itself jackass, though. (That might stop them).
