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

If it were my money (and has been), I'd go with the Herron Audio VTPH-2A phono stage, VPI Avenger and Lyra Delos. But that's just me. YMMV. YOMV.

This is great gear, but it would amount to an expenditure of roughly three times the value of the OP's current gear.

Given the OP's lack of stated budget constraints, why not suggest a good system rather than a more limited on?

Get a new Technics 1200 and a Hana SL mc cartridge. Phono stage can be a Project (very good value for the money). In fact the phono cartridge will have a bigger effect on SQ than any phono stage. Most of which all sound very good indeed! Only a snob would desire an expensive phono stage! Don't you be so foolish to waste thousands on a phono stage!

And the Hana SL mc for $700 is an excellent choice (rather than spending thousands on a Lyra, Van denHul, Myajima ... ). Truth!

Don't skimp on the phono stage.  I learned first hand this summer when my failing 25 year old phono amp needed to be replaced. I tried an inexpensive phono stage, gave it weeks to burn-in but the music just seemed to dribble out of it.  No dynamic swing, virtually no air around the notes and a small, unrealistic soundstage.

After trading that in ($895 unit), I moved up to a ($2300) phono stage.  Unbelievable difference.  The biggest positive surprise was how it's dynamic headroom minimizes the impact of tics and pops on the music,  Surface noise is just less noticeable.  

I am not saying there aren't very reasonably priced fine sounding units out there, the one I chose just couldn't get it done.
