ARC Ref 10 Phono is recommended per my experience.     
ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords

Audio Research Pre-Amp advice
Don’t listen to the people saying it’s built like a tank or it’ll never need service or don’t worry about the tube life etc   Trust me, keep up with the tube life, monitor.  Change as recommended by the factory.     Dont ask how I know.
