somethings ed up with one of my turntables. it was working a little bit ago lol and now it doesnt produce any sound and its not picking up much of a signal on the mixer. i can hear it playing from the turntable but not through my headphones or my stereo. its producing the SLIGHTEST sound, barely audible. help
dallas
everything plugged up right, and ground? and all electricity wires are in the same socket channel thingy
lyte
yeah.. i didnt change anything.. i switched carts and now its working fine and the cart that wasnt producing sound works fine on the other TT... mmm yeah i dont know ? :(
dallas
so both are producing sounds.. are they 'both' good carties??? if so, then maybe you figured it out on your own!
lyte
got Ortofon .. .. i forget.. BRAINFART. bought em a month ago. theyre good carts but i dont know wtf was up.
montie
you shure you plugged your TT into the phono jack on your mixer and that your mixer is set to phono?
lyte
dude, yes.. everything was fine. turned my off, came back, left TT was barely producing audio. switched carts and both TTs were fine. i dont know whats wrong. anyone know what type of problem that is?

maybe the phono amp blew up, switch The TTs with each other so
TT1 to phono 2
TT2 to phono 1
and see if what happens
lyte
what do you mean the phono amp blew up?

I don't think the "phono amp blew up".

I am surprised it wasn't the simple mistake of either having the mixer switch on line-in (which I have done before) or having the TT plugged into the line-in input. Either way, sounds like things are working fine now. Maybe it was just a bad connection between the cart and the tonearm which is rare, but it does happen.

lyte
I didn't change any settings. I simply transferred cartridges from one TT to the other.
