I've had a couple of these tables in the past. A friend had one. He used a Grado arm and an old Grado signature I cartridge on it. It sounded terrific. In fact, I much preferred it to his much more expensive table and I'd always request the AR be used for our listening sessions. Musical as all get out. And, can you believe that back in the day, the table with a stock AR arm only cost 65 bucks?
old AR XA with mods vs Rega RP1
Hi folks,
newbie here. Have old AR XA turntable with Underground Sound mods (sub-chassis and springs from a long time ago) plus Rega RB 250 tone arm from 1988 (wow, I found the receipt). Sumiko Black Pearl cartridge from the 1990s. Turntable not used very much for the past 10 years, but I'm starting to play records again. Music Direct has a Rega Union Jack table RP1 with Rega Bias cartridge. Is there any question that this is better than what I'm using?
thanks for the advice, opinions and leads for what to read to become more enlightened. cheers, John
