I used one of these when i had two tts hooked up to a single amp. https://www.jaycar.com.au/2-way-a-v-selector-switch/p/AC1650

The tonearm will drop as low as the pivot or bearing will allow until something stops it. Not a problem at all.

I'd go the SLQ303 and the Toshiba.

Ooh very nice.

You can download the manual from vinylengine.com Any chance of a photo of your cartridge?

Sounds like the auto return mechanism has an issue. It shouldn't run into the label as the records have a closed groove at the end so if using a fully manual table the stylus will just keep going around until you lift it.

Your SL/D2 tonearm has an effective mass of 12grams (without cartridge). This info is in the user manual. Are you sure about the cart? AT122LP is a p-mount.

As with every brand, there's good one's and not-so-good one's. What model are you looking at?

Thanks you!! Yes it seems I have a short.

Thanks for all the advice. This is just becoming really weird. I have pulled the headshell, cleaned the contacts, even replaced the headshell wires. When I check for continuity, everything is fine all the way from the cartridge pins to the ends of the RCA leads. So great. I don't need to rewire...

Hi. Yes I tried that and the dropped channel switched sides. I also tried a separate phono pre-amp and it's the same problem. Time to get that multi meter out then...

Hi all. Right so my lovely Mrs finally conceded a few weeks ago to let me set up a TT in the living room so in went my Akai APB20. I know not the best but it cost me 10 bucks a few years back and actually sounds pretty good for some nice background music. So during the week it decided to drop...

Good start mate. Welcome to the journey...

Yep. Plenty of Engelbert Humperdink and Jim Nabors but not much else where i live.

I agree with Cratz. The AT91 is a basic cartridge that hits well above its weight. It seems to do everything quite well so it would be a good idea to put several hours listening on it to decide what you want to improve on. The price range you're looking at covers a LOT of vastly different...

Man they are stunning!

It sure is. Makes easy cart swaps impossible. My idea was to fit a "nice" cart and then just be able to swap styli (conical, elliptical etc) depending on the type and condition of record I'm playing. Could do that with an AT95 as well I guess although I do like a warm sound. Hmm...

Yeah I'm not reading too much into what stylus they come with. Would be looking at JICO options in any case.

Hi there. I'm currently running an AT91 (at3600 with carbon fibre cantilever) on my AKAI APB20 and it sounds pretty darn good in my opinion. However as most of you know, its pretty hard in this hobby to leave well enough alone and I've come across someone selling the following Shure carts all...

I use an Ortofon Om10 on my sld2 and it sounds excellent. I also use a Shure Sc35c with m35x stylus for lps in poor condition and occasionally a Technics Epc207. The om10 is definitely a great sounding cart.

You'll have a bit of a dilemma here. If you want reliable, high torque, AND affordable then Technics really can't be beat. Even something like an SL-D1 or D2 would do the job nicely. However if you want that cool retro timber plinth look then you'll be looking at Pioneer, Marantz, JVC etc but...

I often see quite good Stanton and Pickering carts come up at quite reasonable prices. I used to even have a Pickering XV15 of which there's an equivalent Stanton (681??) but while the carts may be quite affordable, you can pay quite a bit for an OE stylus. And as I found out with my Pickering...

Okay i'm going out on a limb here. On the cartridge, carefully swap the blue and white leads. But be carefull and pull the connectors not the wires. Then try it.
