Looking for opinions on components for a vintage tube system and 90's solid state

I went through the whole Garrard 301 Build last year and have not regretted it at all. I went from a oracle Delphi mk 4 and the Garrard has much more PRAT and musicality. worth every penny. I did the 301 with a custom bamboo plinth and Jelco 750l 12" tone arm. its a great combo and imo better then the vintage SME's a lot of people use not to mention less money. The new Jelco arms are even better. pictures on my profile if you want a peek. there is so many carts out there that is a topic many will give you suggestions just remember you will need to match the cart and arm together for compliance. other then that it was not a hard or nor frustrating experience well worth the time and cost ( total my turntable system cost me about $4k and time of course).

Tube pre's from the 50's I'm not too sure, I would consider looking to the 70's as you will find more available with some of the better names available by then.

I'm not that up to speed on the SS vintage stuff other then some of the stuff from the 70's - 80's

I've owned ProAc speakers ( response 2.5) and they are very musical and have good base for their size. they also image very well.

I picked up the table from an original local owner and it was in very good original condition so other then a quick clean and lube it was perfect. I had a local craftsman build the plinth for me, there are pictures of it in my profile, not hard and cost me $600. I did the rest, ordered the arm and installed it. other then that I added some cones for isolation and that’s was it. not a big deal really you just need to find a good table to start with. this is were time and money will come into effect. another option is to get a rebuild table form somewhere like loricraft and buy a plinth from online there are dozens of companies and people out there that build quality plinths anywhere from a couple hundred to thousands of dollars. arms, there are so many arm choices its hard to decide I went the Jelco path because of funds and cost to performance value of the Jelco arms are high.

google Garrard 301 there are so many helpful people and builds for these tables with a huge upgrade path. theres a good article in absolute sound a few years ago that followed a simple build then again when he upgraded it considerably. there are also quite a few companies that specialize in these tables Loricraft probably the best known as they bought the Garrard name.
