There are some good buys at Best Buy etal at this level. I think some of the Harmon Kardon units include a usable phono stage. Check before you buy. There are a number of internet sites that sell new for good prices such as One Call. You can even try Amazon as many vendors offer goods thru them. Many of the new ones are up from 5.1 to 6.1 and 7.1 so you may need some extra speakers if you wish. Even at this price level it makes watching TV and movies much more fun.
