Lyra Delos or Hana ML
The Delos can be finicky as I found out when i first set it up.  Its not very forgiving.  once you have it set up properly, for the money, its a great value.  I think it sounds better than the Kleos which costs much more.

Best TT setup for 2k
The Ortofon black cartridge for one is overrated IMO.  Take and listen to various turntables in your price range.  Do not buy a turntable from what the reviewers say.  listen for yourself.  its the only way.

He is excellent.  
Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
I listened to so many amps before buying my MC275.  It does everything right that is important to me when i am listening. I wasted a lot of time and money on other stuff.  I guess i would have never known unless I did that.
