SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.?
How much money you got?  
For those of us over 60..
I think it all depends on the year for me.  So many great artists from year to year makes it impossible for me to pick one group to define 72 years on Earth. 
This is juvenile...
A love for her smile and the music in her voice, Judy Garland. 
I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable.
You can call Rick at Audio Alternative, Ft. Collins, CO.  He has several!!! thousand LP's at his store along with many, many turntables and I am sure he knows a thing or two about them.  Have a great day.

What is an excellent power cable?
You can contact Chris @VHAudio.  He has several pre made or you can go DIY and have a high quality cable for a lot less than the designer manufactures charge.  My .02 is purchase an AirSine.  Great!! cable for the money.

Weasel's Rip My Flesh by Frank Zappa 
Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale?
You might consider moving to a powered speaker instead of a passive design.  The Treo, I understand, is a passive version of the Quatro and is still pretty pricey.If you are sold on Vandersteen speakers, I can totally understand, they are a great ... 
AC Power cable for ARC Ref 5 se.
Another thing to consider is wall outlets and the metal content.  If they are made of copper, you might want to stay with copper metal in the male plug.  Same with the IEC.I have used and am very satisfied with VH Audio AirSign cables.Your choice ... 
Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire
When connecting the new wire to terminals,  clean the wire and new terminals with a  electrical contact cleaner and if you wish, apply a contact enhancer.  In my experience, Furutech Nano Liquid last the longest of the ones I have tried.
