My 3 Arm Turntable: Became the Jewel of my System, 8th Photo Here

How did this happen? Covid Times, I upgraded eveything).

I listen to a lot of Jazz, both Stereo and Mono.

After learning here the advantages of a true mono cartridge, I wanted a second tonearm for a MONO cartridge ‘ready to go’. Got big plinth made for 2 arms, JVC VICTOR PL-2. Stereo cartridge on right, Mono cartridge rear.

Then I resurrected a MM Cartridge (new stylus from Jico). Squeezed an 'illegitimate' third tonearm on.

Right long arm is MC (fixed/difficult adjustments);

Rear Arm is MM (removable headshell/easy and quick adjustments of Tracking Force, Anti-Skate and VTA).

Left side arm MONO (fixed/difficult adjustments)

I would have made one of the tonearms removable headshell.

Yes, the M10 arm has a removable headshell (second photo of my tables, the arm at the back), and I have spare headshells with the Grado and Soundsmith cartridges mounted on them.

As for the 401 given a Ferrari Badge, hopefully only to suggest the Colour is a match to the Brand.

"Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder".

I had the same model Polished Silver mounted on to a 9 Stone Granite Plinth.

During the 90's Slate was the fashionable stone at this time for an Idler Drive , but I have always had a good experience with Granite used in a structure. 

It was quite expensive to maintain, as a visit to a Chiropractor was required each time it was manoeuvred of the Racks Shelve.

Even worse, the home at this time, was with a Listening Room on the Second Level.

I had surgery twice for meniscus tears, right knee.

I moved my 80 lb McIntosh amp, mc2250, from a low shelf, in cramped space, felt a 3rd tear.

After I finish healing from recent back surgery (years of trouble), I will have the knee looked at.
