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)

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)

@tomic601 The individual that I refer to as the Godfather of using P'holz for Audio use, has supplied information on their Qualia Labs Website about many materials measured damping/dissipation.

Their follow up exchanges that can be found on various forums, strongly siggests that when it comes to Board Thickness, a 10mm Board Thickness, is all that is required for a Phenolic Resin Impregnated Densified Wood (PRIDW) to attain the most desirable measurements for Audio Purposes.

I have been demo'd plinths made from Laminations creating a 35mm Board Thickness and from a typical production Board Thickness in both 25mm and 32mm. The detected differences on a Sonic in these thicknesses, are not as immediately discernable as when a PRIDW Plinth is compared to a standard Birch Marine Plywood, or a non-resin impregnated increased in compression Plywood.

I have a PRIDW Board of a 75mm Thickness, this is selected to embed my TT's Motor Unit into when I put together my own SP10 MkII Kaneta Design.

Tutrntable

 

Here's mine....I've had it for just a few months but I really love it.  Turntable was made by Joel at Audiowood in NOLA.  The arms are both Audiomods, one is a 10.5" and the other is a 9".  Koetsu Rosewood on the 9" and Soundsmith Paua on the other.

The Dohmann Helix One has two tonearm capability.  I just like to listen to two different stereo LOMC cartridges to compare SQ:

seems both arms can be 12", many only one arm can be long (like my JVC CL-P2 Plinth. My friend is restoring their very rare 3 arm plinth CL-P3, only one can be long on it.

nice to know, simply unusual looking, I went to their site and read a bit.

I don’t see a dust cover, is one included or optional?
