Newbie looking for suggestions/help buying components

Hi all,
I'm brand new here,my first post.
I've been checking around on here and other sites, trying to get some ideas/info about what the best components are for my budget ($1200-1500,not much I know). Hopefully someone is willing to give me some much needed advice.

Anyway, my main goal is to replicate the big warm sound of vinyl with CD's, I know one can only come so close. My musics of choice are electric blues from 50's through 70's and hard bop jazz from mid-50's to mid 60's(think Bluenote).

Note to Stephen: a forum spidering trick

At the DIY audio forum, there is a forum area that you a have to be a member to access AND..be logged in order to know that it exists.

This to keep the web bot spiders that troll for data from picking up on forum areas that might otherwise..er..cause trouble with general world issues and ,er 'individual positions/thinking'-as well as protecting members and the forum from potentially getting into 'hot water'.

Just a thought, with regards to the 'open bar'.
