Solved problem #2......

Not sure how it happened, but my tracking force was low. Fixing that immediately solved the issue. I haven't adjusted the table since I moved over a year ago.

I'm more pleased that it was NOT an issue requiring a rebuild than I am disappointed in not being able to figure out how this could have happened.


As for problem #1....
Everything points to an issue with tonearm wiring. The single, clear channel jumps to the other side when I swap the L-R signal and ground connections at the head shell.

I cannot figure out how I get sound from BOTH channels (plus the hum) if I swap ONLY the L-R signal connections at the head shell.

This is a Dynavector mono cartridge, for reference.

Thanks for any thoughts.
