Need help building a great 2 channel system for under $10k

I have been a LONG time reader of stereophile and I currently have a great 7.1 home theater system that can really knock your socks off. I've decided that I would like to build a dedicated 2 channel system that I can use for some serious listening.

The problem I am facing now is being overwhelmed with options. Also, I want to integrate a vinyl source but know very little about turn tables.

Another dumb digital question

I asked about a computer based system and discovered it would be prohibitively expensive so...I am thinking about a MP3/dock combo...

I was looking at the Samsung P3 (32) which accepts FLAC files but I cannot find a dock that bypasses the MP3 DAC and will give me a digital out through the dock...

Does such a thing exist. I would go IPOD but they do not support FLAC files...

You can only use single word responses, no diatribes and no entertainer's visions.

You can only use each word once.
