That's exactly what I purchased in the '70's. The AR turntable was great,
but I wanted just a little bit more automation, which is why I sold it and
purchased the Technics SL-1400.
There was a very interesting discussion on the local Seattle rock station
(KZOK) about the lack of music fidelity/quality. Most of us Baby Boomers
used to be able to spout all the specs regarding frequency response,
harmonic distortion, wattage (and we mean RMS not Peak! <g>), etc.
Today's digital/MP3/ringtones generation just doesn't realize how much sound
quality has been lost compared to analog. Of course, the quality doesn't
matter when your hearing is slowly being destroyed in a 4-wheel boombox.
Oh, well....

We drive a 68 roadster. So, it's only appropriate that
we still play our vinyl on our AR turntable with a Shure V-15/II cartridge,
both purchased in 1968. Our Mac pre-amp and Mac Amp date from the same
year, but were purchased recently.
The vinyl gets played a lot during the long Upper Michigan winters while the
roadster hibernates. If you take care of 38-year-old stuff, it works fine -
- a lot better than the owners work after 38 years. --Bob & Karen Keen
