Originally posted by tu_face it will probably have been a bit of guff in the tonearm socket. it may have got caught there when you first installed the cart, sometimes these things move about as you move the tonearm to and from the record, working the guff between the contacts. just remove both of your carts and blow gently down the tonearm socket

Yup, that could be the problem.

If it isn't, check the wires on the cart for damage. If they are damaged, your cart is f*cked.
