There is a feature on this site to build a virtual system based upon current blue book values of components.
If you go back to main page, click on LEARN, click on Virtual systems, you may have some fun seeing what you can do on your budget.
My advice? Save the fancy cables for later, later upgrades. I would focus on the basics: amp, preamp, cd player and speakers for now. Once you get the bug, the cables will come into play after you've upgraded your amp for the 3rd time! :-) Welcome to the wacky hobby. Beware, it is vERy HabiT forMing!
