RE: Fully Tube or Hybrid Systems

Mostly vinyl system.

Getting a very good pure tube setup to handle MC cartridges is pricey. Note the REF3 doesn't have a phono stage. You'll need a REF Phono for vinyl playback.

I'm quite happy with a hybrid SP20 preamp for that reason. Lots of quiet gain < $10k. Use VTL tube power amps with it.

BTW, your REF110 is hybrid as well.
