Which amp


I have in my system a thoren 125 tt with separate arm with dynavector 20-2 Lomc with transformer
this goes into a arc sp-6 tweeted by arc. This goes into a acoustat tnt200 amp tweeted by Roy e
this is powering Martin Logan vantage speakers  I have a an Oppo 105 for cd's

question is would I be better off with a different amp
if so arc, if so tube or transistor i.e. Vt200 or 300 or 400-d
or krell or Bryston or?

also my used thoren starts very slow. Is this normal?

I have the same amp/preamp combination. Don't change it! The TNT 200 is an excellent amp for driving difficult speakers (I.e. electrostats and ribbons). It sounds fine! Anything else will just be a sidewise move! Jim Strickland got it right when he designed it to drive his Acoustats! Those are a difficult load due to low sensitivity and a falling impedance at high frequencies!
ARC VT150.
Unless belt is worn, giving a belt drive table a hand to spin up is completely fine.
