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

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,

So far by way of f/u I have decided to go with Manley Steelhead Cinook...Thanks to fsonicsmith for the recommendation! Still sorting out the TT et al. Not a fan of Merrill’s 101.3 from a visual standpoint so any more recommendations greatly appreciated. BTW I am having a great time researching everyone’s recommendations. Thanks again
