As already suggested go to the Vinyl Nirvana site. There is some great information on AR tables and mods for them. You might also want to research the mods done by Anthony Scilia. From my own research of AR mods when I had some interest in these tables it appeared to me the mods were well thought out and would definitely offer good bang for the buck versus buying a new table of comparable quality. Most of the mods can be done as DIY projects too.
AR ES-1 table w/AQ tonearm
Hi all,
I just inherited an AR ES-1 turntable with an Audioquest tonearm installed from a buddy. First of all, is this a decent tonearm? Is there a better alternative for not a load of money? I currently run a Pro-Ject original Xpression. Is the AR better? And lastly, I need a new belt for the AR. Is there anyone that still carries parts for the AR?
Thanks
