Acoustic Research, The AR Turntable - Analog Icon

In 1961, Acoustic Research developed a turntable whose simplicity, outstanding performance, and low price earned it a unique place in the hi-fi marketplace-and something of classic status among knowledgeable audiophiles. Aware of the degradation of sound quality caused by acoustic feedback, AR's founder, Edgar Villchur, designed a turntable system that was virtually immune to external excitation. With a patented 3-point spring-loaded suspension, low-mass aluminum platter, and low-RPM/low-rumble synchronous AC motor, AR turntables were some of the finest around.

This "The AR Turntable" is made of oiled walnut and is supported on small rubber feet. A rocker switch on the top of the base controls the power to the motor, and a small pilot light on the front surface glows when it is on. A hinged super clean clear-plastic dust cover remains open when fully raised. Comes complete with a Pickering XSV 3000 MM cart and is "plug and play." The exquisite piece here was originally ordered without tonearm, which was optional in 1983, when this table was produced. Fitted with an ADC LMF-1 low-mass straight arm has been mounted, balanced and is the PERFECT compliment to this deck. The combination of AR Table/ ADC Arm/ Pickering Cart is one of the most synergistic LP setups we've had. Outstanding overall condition and ready to be the centerpiece of your vinyl rig for years to come - a real showstopper in performance & classic vibe.
