| Reminiscing about Dual and AR turntables Erik, with what I already mentioned, I owned used two AR-XAs in my systems early on in the hobby. More recently I restored two others for friends. When testing the restored versions I was surprised by the very good musical qualities they continu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados To be clear to anyone who missed the context of my original comment on "best". That was to avoid a simple label of best unless you've compared all samples. One can have a song or a version they like best, meaning among those they know. But that... | |

I could never get mine adjusted properly for tension so it either failed tolift the arm or would roughly fling it upwards. I no longer remember which arm I was using at the t... | |
