I love my XA. Bought it in 1985 modified with a Sumiko MMT arm. Currently running on a mid 80's Grado Sig8 and a current production MCZ stylus. Other than the lack of an auto lift I have never felt the need to change it. I know there are better decks out there but I love the simplicity of it and it has provided music to my ears for over 30 years so... :-)
Follow Ups:
It's tonearms that introduce more or less complexity to the tasks of set-up and play. The AR-XA tonearm is very simple indeed, but at the price of very little adjustability. As I recall, no VTA, AS, or Azimuth adjustments. (But it was my first "hi-fi" turntable back in the 70s.)
Well...some are more simple than others. Ever look at the guts of a fully automatic Dual or Garrard? :-)
