What is the most analog sounding CD player under $
Try the Vincent Audio tube cd player, very analog sounding and within your price range used. The hard part is finding it used though. I owned it for 3 years so I'm very familiar.

ok, ok it's the best I've heard. I have setup tools you can use when you're ready. It's exciting to know a few of my audio friends are getting into analog.

Musical Speakers
Look for a used pair of Quad speakers, I've had the floorstanding 22L, and 12L, 11L monitors, they are very musical and highly thought of in the UK and US. I just love the high gloss real wood cabinets on these speakers. Within your price range used. 
Speakers with good Bass recommendation
Look for a used pair of Quad 22L, very good bass and soundstage. I just love the high gloss real wood cabinets on these floorstanders. Within your price range used. 
Looking for New Speakers - Suggestions
I second Legacy speakers, even the smaller models can play loud, nice at lower volumns also. They are easy to drive and a good value.
