But even that phonostage is not on par with the Ref2se or Ref3 so I will get the Ref6 and decide if I want a turntable and get a high-quality rig later. It looks like I may get one Ref6 on order soon!

When you do look at phono stages down the road the ARC PH-9 is very good and way less than the Ref. 3 phono.
It does get very costly with all that is involved, but I do think you will have no regrets purchasing the REF. 6
