Looking for a good place to start


I want to enter into a tube/analog setup but have no idea where to start. What is a good reference to start understanding tube components? I remember listening to music as a kid on a Marantz system and it being very warm and full. A sound that I just can't seem to get from a CD. I'm sure its doable but I sort of have an attraction to vinyl. Something in me just wants to go that way. I'm here 2 or 3 times a day looking at turntables, waiting for the right moment to pounce, looking at tube components wondering where to start? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

Botit...a few things would help folks here give you advice. What is your current system? What budget are you looking at? Also, do you have any local high end audio dealers where you can go and listen to any equipment or better yet that they will be willing to let you audition at home in your system?
