MHansen, you wrote, "I swaped interconnects last night and I think one of the tone arm leads broke again." Do you mean to say that the act of swapping the ICs caused a short of one of the internal wires, between the cartridge pins and the output jacks of the tt? Or what? What is the symptom you are experiencing that causes you to draw this conclusion? If it's hum, then you have some other problem. Could be due to interaction of your phono cartridge with the tt motor, if you have certain MM or a moving iron types. Could more likely be due to a need to ground your tt to your preamp, etc.
New turntable recommendations I have a MM-7 now
Hi,
I currently have a Music Hall MM-7 with a Shure V-15 cartridge. I swaped interconnects last night and I think one of the tone arm leads broke again. This happened once before and it was a major pain for me to repair it.
So time to get a new table. I was happy with the sound of the MM-7, just looking for a new reliable table that is easy to set-up and stays that way.
Thanks for you advise, Mark
