    Probably not. Sounds more like the cartridge is an issue, Is it your Decca?

    That's the problem with Deccas - you never know when they're going to fail.

    If you are using the red plastic contact block, check that out.

    Far as I am aware, the Breuer has nothing in common with Tom Fletcher's arms, which were all unipivots..

    I have an unused Sumiko 'The Arm', going on E-Bay in the Spring.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Have you checked the zeta wiring for a short circuit on one channel?

    Swap L & R cartridge connectors. If the problem changes channel it’s the Decca, if it doesn’t, it isn’t.

    i may have found the issue,i was get continuity from the red tag too the tonearm cable earth,ive pulled out the tonearm wire plug and the pillar and had a look,couldn't see anything obvious,put it back and im not getting continuity now,so perhaps it was shorting out?
