1) You might need to replace your tonearm.

2) You might need to replace your patchcords.

 

[SPINSTERWUN]

The 2nd option would be a lot cheaper. But, it seems as if you need a new tonearm.

 

[SPINSTERWUN]

1) Do you wet the back of your headsdhells before you screw the onto the tonearm.

2) What kind of headshell/needles do you use?

i wet 'em, yeah, it's ortofon...if it was my patch cords then i bet the entire left channel would vanish... :'(

 

[SPINSTERWUN]

If you wet them, you need to use alcohol (preferrably Isopropryl, the higher the percentage the better).

Plus....... the Ortofons that are an all-in-one piece are not good for your tone-arms. Purchase the Ortofons that attach to headshells.

Good luck my brother.
