I was very happy with the sound of the AR I had , it came with a factory arm that held a top of line shure. I liked the cartridge, a good choice for record care and sound, plus I liked the price, being mass marketed at the time , so built around that cart.
I was running a Kenwood kd550 , but the Shure picked up motor hum as it tracked towards the label, so I got a belt drive, the AR. I got a much better soundstage with the AR
AFter I started taking a more active interest in my audio buying decisions, I decided to upgrade the arm, keeping the cart.
I wound up with a Mitchell arm and giro deck, and feel the arm was a very important part of the sonic upgrade. Still running a shure , with japanese tips.
All the best with your buying decisions. I have left the turntable market for good. If I ever out grow the Mitchell performance, I will be shocked.
