Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About?

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)

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)

tomic601 that's quite a system you have put together. two of fthe Dynavector 505 Tonearms, I just looked at OEM's setup instructions, whew! https://www.dynavector.com/etechnical/505manual.html You mentioned Peter at PNB. Did he make the custom 2 arm base?

Elliott - The plinth was made in Italy including the very well machined aluminum arm boards. the veneer is apple from Germany. Peter does some amazing plinths. He is a fellow member of San Diego Audio Guild… a true renaissance man ! i am working on some Panzerholtz armboards…. best to you….. a fun and great thread…. |
@tomic601 Can you offer a assessment of your experience with Panzerholz. I am a advocate of this material and encourage the use of it for audio purposes. |
sksos that’s the 1st 4 arm TT I/we have seen here from their web site
many variations shown there https://www.kuzma.si/stabi-r-world-premiere-munchen-2018.html ’non flexible belt’. ............................................. I have a vintage 1958 Viking 75 (telex) 2 track stereo Tape Deck (play only) that came out of my Uncle’s Fisher President II that I inherited. It has a ’non flexible flat belt’, the outer one of this set. https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Belt-Viking-Reel-Player/dp/B07GVJLCH4 ............................................. Tape Deck was from the ’crossover’ era: ’In-Line’ or ’Staggered’.
This shows 1. an erase head left (both tracks); and 2. centered: an ’in-line head’ (both L and R tracks ’in-line’ vertically (the final 2 track/half track accepted version) 3. 3rd head, one track only,, to the right, further along (staggared) ........................................... 4. Deck had a switch: a. ’in-line’ position used the center 2 track head for stereo playback, 3rd head disabled. b. ’staggered’ position used one track from the centered head, and the other track from the single track head further along. 5. eventually ’staggered’ method lost and the 3rd staggered head was eliminated. ........................................ I have a small collection of 2 track stereo tapes, some marked ’in-line’ and some marked ’staggered’ that came with the Fisher Console. They are not 15 or 30, but Pre-Recorded 7-1/2 IPS. They sound fabulous.
