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

Project Phono Box not good enough? Try the Bellari tube phono stage (lacking only an extra 0 in its price!).

HEA enthusiasts have been fooled for far too long by all the overpriced mult-kilo buck gear meant to deplete your credit card! 

+1 fsonicsmith! You sound like a sane person!

@roberjerman,

You need to go back and read my post again. Glad you like your system and equipment.

-1 bpolletti! Just because the venerable 103 was designed back in 1962 doesn't make it a mediocre piece of cr*p! And the venerated Ortofon SPU's are even older! No, the stock 103 sounds fine and will do the job (play records). Upgrades are available (new stylus/cantilever, wood and metal bodies ... ) for far less than the cost of a new "higher end" cartridge!
