Anybody who has experice with multi arm tables??


They look like a good idea.I have a DJ Denon with a swappaple headshell right now but feel if I had more than one arm I could have stereo/mono/beater cartridges better with better mounting,allignment etc.Gues my primary question is how most of them output.Do you have more than one set of cables or are there switches on say Clearaudio,Nottingham,Acoustic Signature etc.Looking for something in the $1500-$3K list range and would appreciate any suggetsions of what to look at.Just don't think swapping headshells or srewing in armtubes is way to go but maybe I am wrong and should stay with the VPI table/arm I have.Been told by one dealer to not think about how much space my two decks are taking up and think about primary Tables sonics (I have a VPI extended).

Chazzbo, I've often used more than one tonearm, but have found that switches degrade the signal. The best so far has been a professional patch bay (Roumanis, if I recall). But better still is switching cables at the preamp's phonoinput. (Helps keeping the connections clean). Cheers,
There are no switches on the Nottinghams, just two armboards. I think that's the case with at least most two-arm tables, but i don't know for a fact. Good luck
Is it possible to acquire a stand-alone tonearm? I believe that it's possible to exersise on cheap tonearms to build an adjustable stand. In my case with Michell it's quite easy since I have a sand-alone motor and can use the motor hole for such experiment and place the motor elsewhere arround.
