A "casual listener" friend presented me with a challenge; put together a small system, i.e. speakers, integrated or pre/power amp, and a source (cdp, TT, pc, etc) of some sort. All for $5,000...and all USA made. Speakers are a simple find. The amp...Van Alstine or Odyssey are the only ones with whom I'm familiar. As for a source I have no idea.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.
