Audioquest 7000

I have a 7000 that will only pick up one channel. The cartridge is supposed to have low hours. What would cause this type of problem? I have very little vinyl experience. Currently using a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood. The Audioquest came with my turntable, and I would like to get it working properly if economically feasible

Dear Chopper: For to check everything you can do two things: first try your 7000 and invert the cable conection between the cartridge and tonearm ( left side in right side and right side in left side position ), if you have sound from that channel ( that in the normal wire position you have not ) then the problem is not the cartridge. Second, try the Clearaudio like a MC cartridge ( with very low volume position ): MC position switch or through the stepup transformer and " see " what happen.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Thanks for the response. I have tried inverting the cartridge tonearm connection, and still only one channel. What would cause this type of problem as far as the cartridge is concerned, and where can I find some reputable repair facilities? I sent Lyra(formerly Scantech) an e-mail regarding my problem. Thanks again.

Dear Chopper: Do you already try everything I told you? or only the cartridge wire conections? and pleasde let me know which preamp do you have and if it had a MC stage.

Regards and enjoy the music.
