Budget system around 1K


I am building a system during graduate school, it will be to long to survive with an ipod dock station that i personally hate as a vinyl lover!
I ordered today a Rega RP-1, could you guys help me to get an amp and a pair of monitors to go with it, in the used market!
I am thinking about the Rega Brio 3 and the Rega monitors, is just a though!
I will not pull the trigger until i hear from my audio Guru community!
Its hard to be on budget when you have fuzzy ears.....
thank you guys, I appreciate your time and guidance always.

A Rega Brio 3 would be a great option. It's a great little amp, and, while I haven't heard the phono stage myself, it's supposed to be excellent. Speakers are a personal choice, of course, but many people swear by all-Rega systems as excellent value for money, and the R1s are great and very unfussy about placement. Totem are also said to be a nice match with Rega electronics. A used pair of Dreamcatchers would fit your budget. If it were me, I'd keep my eyes open for a pair of Snell Ks or K/IIs or Audio Note AX-2s. I have an original Rega Brio and Snell K/IIs in my office (which together cost me $400 used), and it's a great setup.
