    Default I think my SAE1000LT has just died :(

    On track one of an LP it works on both channels, part way through track 2, the LH channel drops in level.
    I have never experienced this before, and it has caused much head scratching tonight.

    I have swapped the cartridge out, and everything is fine.

    The stylus is also no longer central, so I guess that the suspension has gone.
    The coils still measure ok.

    A sad day. I liked that cartridge.

    I checked all of the connections. Redid them all etc. Same effect.
    Plugged in an AT150mlx, and both channels are singing.

    Yes, unfortunately.
    I will have a fiddle tomorrow and see if refitting the cart changes anything.
    It had a nice synergy with the BB3.

    Just now the AT150mlx started doing the same.
    It turns out it is my new JJ ECC83 that is playing up. Not impressed. Less than 200 hours on it…

    False alarm. Loose connection on the RCA connector at the TT output.
    Thanks Grant.
