When the AR XA turntable came out in 1961, it was an instant classic - almost immune to external shocks and vibrations, low in rumble, and priced at a shockingly affordable $58.00 ($489 today), less cartridge but complete with arm, dustcover, and even a stylus force gauge. (The price was soon raised to a more sustainable $78, or $658 today.)

Its only switch was on/off, its features Spartan to say the least—going from 33.3 to 45rpm required repositioning the belt on the pulley (there was no pitch adjustment)—but its classic.


The AR XA Turntable. The ultimate in understated elegance. Only feature

The AR XA is also one of the most modified turntables ever. There were a number of companies that produced upgrades to the table. The most popular were probably the "Merrill Mods". Some of the mods included: Enhanced speed controllers Enhanced motors Acrylic-lead turntable mats Acrylic subchassis Center and outer clamps Improved parts

Project AR XA by MrHiFi | Feb 18, 2021 | 12 comments One of HiFi's most important turntables hit the market in 1961. Acoustic Research launched it's new belt-driven XA, designed by Edgar Villchur. There was nothing like it at the time. The Absolute Sound considers the AR XA one of the ten most important turntables of all time. I would agree.

It contains a motor, a rubber belt, a highly machined platter/spindle, an ultra lightweight tone arm, a cartridge with stylus, and an on/off switch. The platter is suspended at three places underneath. Wow and flutter are indiscernible. You can spin the platter by hand and then go make a cup of coffee while it's still spinning..
