I would not say that Tubes offer more Dynamics they offer what all tubes do as in tube sound. If not done right they can be noisy in a phono stage, If done right they can be wonderful.
If you can find a used Allnic or Manely you may find glory. I’m sure others will recommend many more those were the two I was looking at after researching. there was an SP8 on Agon as well may be a nice match to your ARC Pre.
I ended up with the SS Gold Note PH10 but I needed two inputs.
I gave up on tube phono stages in the sub $3k and went SS for the less noise. that’s only because I have tubes in my pre-power and high efficiency speakers that show noise very well. ok and can’t afford a new Allnic Audio phono.
