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

In fact the phono cartridge will have a bigger effect on SQ than any phono stage. ... Only a snob would desire an expensive phono stage! ... Don’t you be so foolish to waste thousands on a phono stage!" Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just don’t get them confused with facts.
