Anyone know off hand what are the dimensions of the V bearings in the Tonearm are? At work all night and want to do some research.
Also the size of the tonearm bearing ball and both thrust plates.

Marc, I want to commend you on your willingness to share your knowledge and thank you for the same. You make having an AR a rewarding experience. The work you did on mine elevated it to such a level that it's hard to find words to describe. PrestonThe bearing ball is .218" - .219" The V bearings i use are 90deg cups, od is .125". Matching the pin ends to them, must be .005" polished ball or less. thrust plates are delrin, .040" (factory) I use .060" .370-375" diameter.

Marc,
Have you ever heard of the AR-XA becoming dull sounding after changing the old rca cables with new ones? Asking for a friend.
Never had that problem, not sure what cables they used.

I used turntable cables I purchased off ebay. Used the parties cables a few times with no issues. Have you ever replaced the cables? If so what did you use. I'll probably just buy new ones.
Thanks!
It's gotta be. Sounds like it's wired properly, Just missing a lot of mids.Capacitance mismatch?
do you still have your original cables?I used turntable cables I purchased off ebay. Used the parties cables a few times with no issues. Have you ever replaced the cables? If so what did you use. I'll probably just buy new ones.

I thing so.do you still have your original cables?
I have witnessed this. Not on an AR but it heard the before and after on another table. The replacement cables were taken from a set of low capacitance component video cables. The rca connectors were cut off of one end and that end was soldered to the table. The result was very poor. Midrange suck out is a good description.Marc,

I had a hum issue on my table at higher volumes. Figured it was just the cartridge. Bought some Linn phono cables from an AK member and OMG! Hum gone, and sounds spectacular. For the naysayers, YES, cables can make a difference. IMHOMarc upgraded the cables on my AR - I'm not sure what he used - and it sounds spectacular.
