I owned an ES1 for many years and only sold it when I bought my VPI HW19 mkIII with a SME 309 arm in 1995. A close friend now owns the AR.
The Stock arm is really good (Sumiko MMT). At the risk of sounding anti-RB250 I think "upgrading" to the Rega may be a lateral move.
The ES1 responded to the George Merrill (sp?) modifications as they addressed the key weaknesess of the resonant platter. The motor upgrades talked about elswhere in this thread are valid also.
The AR ES1 is a very fine deck that needs very little to truly be exellent!
Good luck!
