[net.audio] The Return of the AR Turntable

jeff@tesla.UUCP (10/08/83)

The T-bar is the sub-rosa independently suspended mounting chassis for
the platter/arm.  The original AR sold for $69.95 and eventually went up
to $79.95.

The following is not an advertisement.  Tek is not connected
with Teledyne AR and neither am I.  So there.

"The AR turntable is back.  After a four year absence from the
 market, Teledyne Acoustic Research" has introduced its new AR
 turntable, which the  company redesigned from the  dust cover
 down.  The T-Bar [sic] features a  universal tonearm mounting
 platform, and the turntable is  available with its own ultra-
 low mass  straight arm.   A new  platter rides  atop a three-
 point spring-hung suspension, which isolates  the tonearm and 
 platter from the top and wood veneer base.   Suggested retail
 price is $429.99 with the AR tonearm  and $279.99 without it."

Ho-hum.

The original AR's low price was its only redeeming quality.
