RE: AR AX T.T.

I have one I have used daily for years. Currently it is equipped with a Shure V15Vx/Jico SAS. I have no interest in replacing it.

There is a wealth of information on the AR Turntable at vinylnirvana.com.

Headshells are essentially unobtainable. Belts are abundantly advertised, but be careful. The ones I have ordered -- and returned -- were all metric dimension belts that were too small and stressed the motor. Fortunately I have a couple of original belts that are carefully maintained and work well.

An AR-XA that is basically sound and knowledgeably maintained is capable of very good performance. The arm is often criticized, and difficult to replace, but I found that, even with my limited skills, I could work with it.
