What are the best 100 watt stereo receivers and best record players (turntables) I could buy?

I'm looking for a good 100 watt stereo receiver. I have a whole stack of records. I bought a cheapo Crosley replica all-in-one out-of-the-box record player for $125. Sounds awful. I'm now looking for a separate turntable and a high quality receiver. Your opinions of some good brands are greatly appreciated. I understand they start getting good at a certain price. My budget is about $1,000+ or - for the who setup. Thanks again!
