Bummer. It is the first time I've heard that problem on this forum though, so you've added a little entertainment value to my evening. Thank You
Cat jumped on turntable
OK, I know the obvious response about this but moving past ditching the cat . . . I was playing my VPI Scout 'table with a Dynavector Karat cartridge when the cat (Jack) leaped onto the 'table. The tone arm slide across the record and the platter stopped. After addressing the situation, I didn't see any obvious problems (but I have an untrained eye) and dropped the needle. The tone arm immediately slide across the record to the center. Upon reflection, it seemed like the tone arm was light since it moved pretty effortlessly. Before taking it, I thought I would solicit some thoughts here.

Yup, Miller Carbon has the right idea. It’ll be much less expensive to have it retipped at Soundsmith. I’ve also gotten a couple of my carts retipped by a guy on eBay, whom I knew before he even started doing work through fleabay. He does excellent work. His eBay handle is cartridge_retipping-5, I believe. It’ll be easy to find him just by typing in cartridge retipping though. Good luck with everything, and try to remember that the cat was just being a cat. Lol |
Sounds like Jack is a candidate for the Pet Shaming List... "I torched the stylus on my owner's turntable. Now I have to yowl in key or Else." :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SAMBlZEi40 |
