Noobie looking for advice


I recently purchased a Stanton T92USB to transfer my vinyls into MP3's. I just srated getting into purchasing vinyl. I was drawn into viynl because of it great cover art and the desire to have a huge collection that others can admire. Being new to the "analog" sceen i am not certain what kinds of sound system upgrades i will need to experience my records to the fullest. To clear things up i have my turntable RCA's inserted into the AUX input located in the back of my Sony home theater system. The reason for this is the receiver lacks a PHONO input. I get very low volume and crappy sound. I would like to enjoy my records but i understand that i have a lot of work ahead of me. I need to start building a system, but i need direction on where i should start. I do not have a lot of money so a budget system would suit me best. Please any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks

Thanks for the feed back everyone! When i first set up my Stanton i did read the part in the manual depicting which setting (PHONO/LINE) to have my turntale set at. The sound was much better coming from the phono setting, but the volume isnt at the level that i would like. Any suggestions on a decent receiver???

Thanks
Hifitime,

I am satisfied with the answers i have received. I sort of just need a starting point. I am on a budget so i so not want to purchase anything that is not worth buying. I found a website that sells NAD receivers and equipment at fair prices. http://www.spearitsound.com/nad/nadspec.htm. I would like to start with a receiver, add a preamp, speakers and subwoofer. I would like something that is just going to sound crisp at the highs and the lows.
