I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable.


I am looking for suggestions for phono amp, turntable, arm and cartridge to match my existing system. The ARC110 does not have a phono, so I am stuck as to what will pair best. Thanks for your thoughts. JMW

You can call Rick at Audio Alternative, Ft. Collins, CO.  He has several!!! thousand LP's at his store along with many, many turntables and I am sure he knows a thing or two about them.  Have a great day.

Again muchas gracias to Everyone My excitement is gaining by each response. To answer on my budget I was hoping to bring it in at around 10-12k for TT, arm, cartridge and phono
One more thing. Tonearm cable. It is the most important cable in the chain, again don't save on it and don't rush with the choice.
If you run balanced, then the cable will impose far less artifact. I agree its the most important cable in the system. You get that bit wrong, the best amps and speakers can't fix it.

And keep the cable run as short as possible.  That will help minimize the cable interaction with the musical signal.
