GHa Acoustic Research turnTables

GHA loves the simplicity and great sound produced by a well put together Acoustic Research turntable.  AR originally produced these low-cost ($78!) belt drive turntables using a cast aluminum 3.3 lb platter suspended with a T-bar sub-chassis that greatly reduced acoustic feedback. A 24-pole hysteresis-synchronous, permanent magnet Hurst AC motor propelled the platter via a precision ground rubber belt to produce very low wow and flutter, exceeding the National Association of Broadcasters standards for turntable measurements.  These are some of the latest tables we have restored and modified.  Enjoy.
