Upgrading preamp and phono

Hi all., Going to upgrade some items in the system. Need a better preamp and phono preamp. Have about $5000 to spend on each one. Looking at used only. Right now I like the ARC 2se + ARC 5se Together.The preamp is giving me some doubts because of some opinions I received. Pretty sure the 2se is what I would like for the phono.. Upgrading from Parasound JC3+. Looking at tube only but open to advice. Having both from the same manufacture seems appealing and can make the purchases easier and quicker.Current system is in virtual systems here. If I can spend less, great. Thanks

I would second the Herron recommendation. There is a VTSP-3A (R02) that just came on today. Grab that and then call Keith to pick up a matching VTPH-2A--I think you will be happy :>). BTW, I've owned a bunch of ARC equipment over the years (not the models your are considering) and they didn't hold a candle to the Herron gear. Good luck!

PS: Cool system!
