The bare minimum I'd recommend to get the benefit of vinyl:
1. Pro-ject Carbon Debut Esprit turntable (Or a Rega RP8 if you can stretch that far).
2. Ortofon Blue cartridge (bare minimum).
3. Cambridge 651A Amp (or equivalent).
4. Musical Fidelity V90 LPS phono stage
5. Wharfedale Diamond 220 speakers (bare minimum).
This set up will deliver these albums like you've never heard them before.
Get some good cable, and you're good to go.
EDIT: only just noticed that you said 'stand alone'. If you're looking for an 'all in one', forget it -- it'll sound better on mp3.
