$2500.00 to spend on int.amp and cd player
Rega does a bang up job in the CDP department.I'd not exclude a Sony SCD XA777es, or even the older SCD 777 2ch unit. The XA is better though, and more flexible.The new Cambridge units too are worth checking out to meet your $$$ constraints....and...

Who sells lead shot pellets to fill an equip.stand
Finding a local gun or trap and skeet club might solve all your problems... if you have to get lead.Bob at sound Anchor says other things will do just as well, be less of an issue obtaining and disposing of, while being both cheaper and safer. Cat... 
I want to use an OTA HD antenna...
In my area, and depending on ones location, the biggest majority of the populus needs a 'piggy back' ant. (two directional ariels), each pointing in differing directions, as all but one or two station are in the same general area. SE. The other ma... 
High End jargon; your take
...usually don't drink?Sheesh. I had to quit drinking to afford the gear I've bought here! Otherwise I'd have went with just better, er, tighter, warmer, wetter, 2.1 PC speakers. 
3 channel tube amp for home theater?
Kharma 3.2?Sheesh. Although I don't think anything is indestructable, and they might not be suited to the task at hand, if for that amount of money they couldn't stand up to sensible levels from HT content now and then, I would take them back, or ...

I've put every power cord I own on my DAC, except the Virtual Dynamics Power III (which BTW is NOT the worlds best power cable as they claim), and my Elrod Sig III as either would yank the DAC off the shelf by their sheer weights.shunyata Python V... 
Recommend ss amps to bi-amp Mark-Daniel Maximus
Odyssey Stratos SE <$2KBAT VK 200 +/- $2KBAT VK 500 >$2K puts you over the $2K mark but worth it.None of the above have a harsh or brittle bone in them. Very nice, but mo' $$ do improve on things around here.
