Can you make it easy and post a link? Much appreciated. I have 2 XA but only one shell.

Best Audio is an Ebay store. Also makes repro parts for Duals and other TTs.
Also, I've got AT VM540ML carts in the Rega Planar 6 and the AR XA. Playing the same track through both, using the same phono stage, the differences between the two decks are astonishingly small. The Rega might have a bit more detail, but that could be due to condition of the stylus (both styli are closing in on 400 hours) or the VTA not being the same from one deck to the other.
I used headphones for the comparison and the difference are so small, they probably wouldn't be audible through speakers.
The AR is running a bit faster than the Rega as well.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

Thanks for the info. I got a kick out of the ads from a competitor who also makes the AR headshells. Best audio states that 3D printed is not as good as injection molding that they use. The competitor states that 3D printed is better than injection molded. They obviously know who their competition is.
...I bought a couple of Dual items and IMO 3D printed, at least in that case, should be avoided.
On the other hand, the competitor makes an exact copy of the overhang checker for the XA, also replacement thrust pads. So they're OK in my book.

Good to know, thanks.
...just for different things.
