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

Hi jaym759,
My suggestion is don't buy expensive turntable mine am using audio technica without built in preamp.you can use ortofon cartridge and use separate tube phono preamp and tube preamplifier ,you can have good sounds quality in your system.

Enjoy..

Dear @bagadiong: """  ortofon cartridge and use separate tube phono preamp and tube preamplifier ,"""

which are your reasons or in what resides your foundation to posted that statement?

I mean tube electronics instead SS ones and why separates and not a phonolinepreamp.

Which advantages gives the tube in a phono stage against a SS unit?  which advantages gives separates units against an integrated one?

Thank's in advance, your answers very appreciated.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
