micro seiki, dqx-1000, includes two arms
if real, cost quite low for TT with 2 arms, IF you like those arms

I think it would be interesting/fun to create a list of 2 Tonearm TT’s
(2 arms or potential for 2 arms or more)

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)

@elliottbnewcombjr I would like to say, I learnt my lesson with Granite Monoliths. That is a tale I can't tell, I have a 250Kg Granite Lintel/Engineers Plate, used as part of the support structure for the 845 Monoblocks. The equipment Racks are seated on Steel Plates of a dimension 900 x 700 x 15 (36" x 28" x 5/8") again a Holiday is needed following the experience of being put in place. I am hoping my 'new kid on the block' - 'go to' material, is a worthy substitute for these when I return to using the system. |
pindac OVERKILL: (websters): ’Found under the equipment rack’ My final TT support, to deal with my springy floors, drop the needle, "gimme 2 steps..."
Notice, my TT’s oversized plinth is on a deeper glass top I had made, it cantilevers a few inches over the back of the normal depth ’glass topped’ racks below. Fortunately the Spinner’s weight is forward, so luckily no rear support under the back edge of the glass was needed. I designed and built the racks below it, 3 heights
They can surround equipment with some heat, they are ventilated, wide open in the back, see my tube preamp below my tube amp.
lower equipment pulls forward without disturbing upper unit
other photos here https://www.audiogon.com/systems/9703 anyway, hard not to digress, but to note, many TT’s that take multiple arms need more space, depth, or width, like my friend’s Luxman PD444
My OEM dust cover is lift off, Luxman's is hinged

Fortunately for myself I have not gone to great expense for my equipment support. Much of the materials in use are selected from trialing and elimination of materials. When a Material is discovered that has a impact on the sonic that is desirable to myself, I will then attempt over time to discover the same material type in different dimensions and assess the impact it has. Granite used as Tier in a Support Structure, certainly does offer something quite special for my needs when used in a Mass, not usually considered to be used. Even a Tier used on my support plinths for a Cabinet Speaker has shown to be much more beneficial when it is a substantially increased thickness used over the earlier samples of 20mm-40mm. Extra Thick Granite used in such a position is still a little user friendly, it is the Speakers Weight that 'hurts good'. |
