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)

It looks like the Helix Design Team could look into producing a Side Bar Cantilever Armboard that attaches into the existing Tonearm Board Mounting. Such a Armboard that has the Cantilever extension will create a design seen commonly in use today and enable longer TA's to be put into service. One produced from Panzerholz or a equivalent material will be a very attractive option. | ||
pindacFor a very long arm, say 14", it would be a nice option for many turntables. The web site says both arms on the standard design can be 12".
https://dohmannaudio.com/helix-one/ That's unusual for a design without cantilevered arm boards, Those extensions some TTs have/offer make the issue of a dust cover even more problematic. My long arm is 12.5", it requires careful measurements. I can fit that arm on my JVC CL-P2 two arm base; however, it is too long for the 3 arm Plinth CL-P3 my friend is restoring. JVC moved the right side arm board closer to the spinner in order to add the left side arm board (which moves the top right corner closer to the spindle. | ||
I've had a Clearaudio Ovation for years, and just ordered an Innovation Wood (black/piano black). It's coming with a 12" Universal, plus an extra arm-board for the 9" Universal I have on my Ovation now. My Lyra Atlas Lambda SL will go on the 12" arm and a mono cart is on order (due in a couple weeks) for the 9" arm. | ||
