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)

Here's a table from Japan, the CS Port TAT1M2 that can accept 2 arms. Total weight over 200 pounds! Platter itself weighs 60 pounds and floats on air.

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 !
