Rewiring The Acoustic Research XA/XB Tonearm Plus Modifications.
EDIT: This model and both pivot block are from the ARXB. My spare pivot block is not from the XA as I mistakenly mentioned. However removing the old wiring and or changing the arm wand would be the same process for the XA
There are a couple of things I didn't include in this video as it was getting too long. You can also dampen the arm wand with ear plugs, and I would polish the bearing shaft and on the bottom of the shaft where it rides on a ball bearing.
Definitely one of the trickier videos I've tried to film, I find it hard to concentrate on the task and make sure the two cameras are recording the right angles. I think I failed in a couple of moments :/
