HK 3380 by Harman Kardon.
http://www.harmankardon.com/product_detail.aspx?Region=USA&Country=US&Language=E NG&cat=REC&prod=HK%203380&sType=C
keep in mind that the price on the manufacturers website does not reflect what you can buy this for. You can get it for much less.
For a little more bread...in fact out of your stated budget you could get the Outlaw RR2150. Better receiver with an excellent phono stage. It can only be had internet direct from the manufacturer and the price on the website is indeed what you'd pay.

Happy hunting! |

the outlaw does sort of look like exactly what im looking for, but really is out of my price range. i love the usb jack and mp3 player integration. |

Get a refurbished HK on ebay directly from HK (they are a frequent ebay seller). Way cheap. |

is it worth the scratch for the 3480's 120v over the 80v's of the 3380? |
