The cartridge headshell cables are very delicate. Do not use your fingers to remove and install them, use small tweezers and only hold onto the gold part, not the black part. If they are super tight to slide on, get a toothpick and use it to spread open the gold connector a bit. Once installed you should never have to fool with them. It sounds like you have a feedback issue or electrical loop issue, make sure the earthwire is installed, if so also try removing it and see if that helps, makes worse or no change. Check the wall plug and if you can swap to another plug.....Touching the wires and getting feedback is a normally a grounding issue. Take the toothpick and try to straighten out the wires some so they are not touching each other. Dbl check all your connections at both ends....carefully pull on the red wire, it should not be loose, if it is that may be your problem..You can try with the tweezers to squeeze the black part and see if that tightens the crimp better. You are still under warranty so as long as you don't break anything you can try DIY fix, but I still think it might be a grounding issue. Let me know what you find.

The 2m Red is a user replaceable stylus, make sure the stylus is pushed in very good. Read the instructions on how to remove it, then pull it off and put back. If that does nothing then swap the cables on the receiver and see if the left channel has no sound, that would rule out any problem with the receiver.
Make sure the cables from the TT are fitting well. Does your table have a RCA box like this? Make sure the cables are in good shape, try another set any RCA cables. The other thing is to make sure the stylus tip is nice and clean, no dust bunnies hanging on, use the brush that came with the cartridge to carefully clean it, always wipe from back to front.

Don't tell them you did anything, which you did not anyways. Just tell them to fix it, it was fine then nothing..... The best replacement/remaster album ever. Nick Davis did an amazing job of lifting the veil off these first Genesis albums, the originals were always bad, now that you have a better analog rig you will notice how bad they are, and then how brilliant the reissues are.

Yeah, it's true. By coincidence I was listening to the first Iron Maiden album, which was the one I was listening when my other TT stopped working. I'm starting to think it's cursed Already packed it, I'll probably go to the store later today. Good thing I didn't sell my old one
I could already notice it before, especially on my copy of Trespass (a Portuguese pressing, which makes it even worse ). I'll have to look into those Edited by Meltdowner - October 05 2015 at 11:08 |

^ It's an excellent album, my fav will always be Train of Thought. This one sounds incredible too on vinyl, they did an outstanding job going from digital to analog. There are sounds I don't hear on the CD version, sublime sounds that make the experience really nice.....

I took the TT to the store last week and I'm waiting for it now. I replaced it with my older one but I was already used to the sound of the other that it was awful to listen I got a bit more used to it after a few LP's though.
I heard a couple of albums for the first time this week: A live version of Fire! Orchestra's Exit, I don't have the studio album though It's limited to 500 copies and the cover is blank, that's why I didn't take a photo of it. This one is from an excellent Finnish Jazz trio I saw last week and it's a audiophile 200g vinyl. It sounded great, even on my current set up. |

I have been spinning a lot of my older vinyl that I have neglected over the past 10yrs......It's been a lot of fun hearing some of these older albums.
Not many pics I have but bands like: The Cars The Police Santana ELO Eric Clapton AC/DC Earth Wind & Fire Michael Jackson Lots of fun!

^ Yeah, sometimes it's good to make a Prog pause and listen to plenty of music from other genres
I have my TT working again and arrived soon than I expected. It seems the red wire was defective. This time I mounted it much faster and more accurately, especially the counterweight adjustment: I was able to align the tonearm more horizontally than before and now there's more bass I tested with a brand new KC album And after that, I listened to a mint US pressing of this great album from New Zealand that reminds me of Supertramp: |

^ Mental Notes is eccentric as it gets !! Mad album. Amongst the very first Prog vinyls I acquired in the mid-80's. Love The Enz, followed them to the end (See Ya 'Round). All of their albums have some great material. Then along came Crowded House (half of Enz) and Schnell Fenster (the other half of Enz).
I never could get into Acca Dacca (AC/DC as we know them here). |

^ I agree, it's a really eccentric album I'll have to look into their next albums sometime. I didn't know Crowded House was half of Split Enz, they were quite successful around here.
This album is on my top 10 albums of 2015, and I have a cool comic drawn by the band about the album's concept, that enhances the psychedelic experience Edited by Meltdowner - October 17 2015 at 10:22 |
