Presenting a extra nice example of the highly aclaimed Legendary Classic AR XB Acoustic Research Stereo Turntable. One of the finest versions avaiable with Audiophile upgrades. Installed High Quality internal Tonearm wiring. Upgraded output connecting cable and ground wire. Real nice gloss black plinth with advanced thick raised platform bottom panel. Quality adjustible spikes installed for better isolation. There are also 4 Spike metal resting discs with rubber base included. Damping material was installed to all areas of subchassis surface. There is Grado black / chrome cartridge installed with a big G on the front. Acording the the colors it should be from the PRESTIGE Series. Tracking Pressure : 1.5 grams. I haven at looked at the 2 top connecting pins to determine exact model. Suppose there are colored dots on them to identify which model of the series it is. Carttidge Details off the Net. A Grado cartridge with a “G” on the front and a black-and-chrome (or black-and-silver) body is almost certainly a model from the Grado Prestige Series (such as the Prestige Black, Green, Blue, or Red). The “G” does not stand for the cartridge’s specific model. It is just the main company logo for Grado Labs. Because the bodies of the Black, Green, Blue, and Red cartridges look completely identical, the exact model is determined by tiny colored dots (usually found on the top pins where the wires connect) or the color of the writing on the stylus itself. The model tiers from base to best in this specific style are. Black: Entry-level, great warm sound but an older/simpler metal needle inside. Green: A step up; built to slightly tighter quality rules than the Black. Blue: Offers better clarity and tighter controls. Red: The highest level of this specific black/chrome design. The Dustcover is real nice. The Original clear plastic stylus scale included with the box. All these upgrades brings a already excellent turntable to another high performance level. This may be the ULTIMATE AR XB Turntable. I WOULD NOT WANT TO SEE IT GET DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.
