    Now no left channel at all

    Long story short, was using a crap soldering iron and the joints weren't great. Randomly the left channel stopped working. I got a better one, changed the rca port and soldered everything together, but now there's still no left channel. I've switched RCAs on the receiver and pretty much isolated...

    Where do I put the AR XA ground wire? Loud hum

    Long story short, I decided to add RCA Jacks and a power plug to my thrifted AR XA table. This was really my first time soldering, so don't ask me why I started with this big project. When I plug it in, I can hear a really loud hum. Super loud. There's music but the hum is overpowering. I think...

    ARXA Cartridge Advice

    Hey everyone, I am a newbie to vinyl and stereo gear in general. Part of the wave of people waking up to how good it sounds compared to digital. Anyways, I recently purchased a Marantz 2230 receiver, a pair of A25 speakers, and a AR XA turntable. It came with the Shure M70EJ (Stylus) and 70...

    Going to check out a vintage AR XA turntable tomorrorow

    Looking to buy a (what i believe is stock) AR XA turntable. Anything specific i should look out for? I know they are modded a lot and there are older and newer models. Would i be able to attach my Nagaoka mp 110 onto it without any mods?

    AR XA - Repair Service

    My father in law just gave me his old AR XA. It’s not in working order, but all of the component parts are there. Looks like it needs at least a new belt and tone arm, at least. I would love to get this thing Marc Morinized (RIP). But I don’t know the first thing about turntable repair, and I...

    My New Old AR XA

    I picked up my rebuilt AR XA from from Marc Morin this past Tuesday. He lives just a short drive from me. This is a table that I've owned since new when I bought it in 1969 for $77. I took a couple of albums that I am familiar with along to audition. We listened with both my Grado Black2 and...

    AR XA tonearm wiring cap

    I am doing my first AR Restoration with initial help from John Williams and now from Marc Morin whose in depth wisdom and kind guidance made me feel brave enough to replace the tonearm wires. Unfortunately, I apparently suck at soldering and managed to melt the plastic cup with the pins in it...
