Fantastic turntable design. I have two. One is my "B" system daily driver. Now, it has been souped up just a bit: quiet DC motor; acrylic sub-chassis with cast-in bearing; thrust ball bearing; adjustable VTA mount for tonearm, and a good-but-cheap tonearm circa 1990, the Jemco. And a Grado Black.
I am completing a thick, heavy, constrained damping base for it.
In general superior to my Linn, Ittok, Troika, although it has its own merits. The AR showed the way for a littany of similar tables from Thorens, Linn, Logic and others. Its fun to rung the inner platter lie a bell, ring the out platter like a bell, and put them together for a dull thud.
I would like a better way to securely attach the vinyl to the platter, but that's a common problem.
With this table and the Grado, dynamics are superb, considering that by today's hgih end table standards its quite modest.
My second AR is still in parts.
