I'm coming late to the party here, but second the suggestion to consider used, higher end gear as opposed to buying new mass marketed stuff. There's a tremendous amount of junk being sold out there as the marketplace shifts further into HT and away from two-channel music systems. It's a lot of work to assemble a good "stereo."
audiogon.com is a good place to look for used gear--don't be frightened off by the seven thousand dollar cables :-)
If you have gobs of time to do your research, audioasylum.com has a substantial wealth of information on every conceivable aspect of high end audio, and some of the crankiest people you'll ever meet on the internet.
Disclaimer: I decided three years ago to upgrade my ancient system and I'm still at it, but the sound I'm getting now is worlds better than I ever realized possible. Glad I didn't throw out all those LPs, too.
Try to have fun with this, and don't be in a rush. Far too many bad purchase decisions are made by tired people.
