[QUOTE="JohnnyIC, post: 806729, member: 15708"] Don't replace the arm unless it's damaged, replacing the arm involves some serious modification to the t-bar and top plate which is not reversible. The stock arm really isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. I would just give the arm a service, maybe flush out the old damping fluid and replace it with new fluid, put a nice cartridge on there and have a listen. I don't know if damping fluid degrades over time so it might not really be necessary to flush the old fluid, maybe someone else can chip in? A new plinth also makes a nice visual improvement, have a look at my post below yours where I built a new plinth from Kiaat wood. I am also looking at improving my AR XA and considering building a Armageddon clone power supply for the motor. [/QUOTE]
