The future of Hi-Rez is groovy
It'll cost teramegagigabytes of teramegagigabytes or back to 1968 :-). 
do moving coil cartridges have a finite life-span?
It's my 12th year on Shelter 501(not MK2). It was already retipped twice as it's being used long hours daily.Other than tip and suspension on the tip there's nothing else to die that quick.I guess with proper service and retipping ontime it'll las... 
Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers.
If you're using tube amp, find ones in great condition or fully restored JBL 4312(97db efficient). They were able to SCREAM with 3wpc SET DIY tube amp. I used 6L6 power tube in triode. For solid state I'd second to Totem Model 1.

SET is the most primitive and simple design of equipment and certainly shouldn't be worth much at all. 
Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers
for your updated budget I'd get Carver Lightning. 
Need some
Sensitivity on paper for N804 is far away from actual. Same class speakers such as Totem Forest(86dB/W/m) would outscream N804 driven by amps that are in 50...60wpc range while N804 would require 4x much to give same SPL.For tiny-bit more I'd reco...
