Might want him to make it bigger for when you upgrade to a VPI in about a 6-12 months ;)Quote:

Well I just picked up the 200gram DSOTM album today. I am getting ready to spin it. What is the 1300 like? Any good?
Thanks

Its supposed to be pretty good, but I've never actually played any vinyl on it.Quote:

It doesn't have a cartridge at the moment, which is why I haven't used it.Quote:

1/2". I've been looking for a decent cheap cart, but then decided to just hold off and get an M97xe. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet.Quote:

Time for me to spin some more vinyl.

Ben, you are a handy guy. Build yourself a sandbox. http://www.galibierdesign.com/images/zz_sandbox.pdf

The wires on my technics are Green/ Red going to the one side RCA and the blue/white going to the other RCA . there were two BLACK wires coming out of the arm housing and I disconnected them ( they were attached to some of the colored wires where the RCA wires meet them) with the black wires attached and taken off its the same still Much of the music is missing. Is there anyone with set up info for this, Im guessing the signal from the cartridge is proper as its the same as the regular shure BUT I may have missed a step.. any help.
Could it be the ONE of the wires (red blue green white) is not connected. I guess I can check, but would ONE of them case this? thanks
IIRC you have to play a four channel record using a four channel cartridge. The Shure V15 is a two channel cartridge. Look at it this way. Try playing a mono record with a stereo cartridge. It still produces mono.
Wow, they made 4 channel Vinyl? Phew-I'm def outta the loop there.
The quad cartridges just had extended high frequency response. They were not really a 4 channel cartridge. The CD4 rear channel tracks were just encoded into the stereo mix with a high frequency carrier, which ends up being decoded by the quad receiver.
Check continuity between each of the leads and the RCA outputs. The black wires are probably grounds for the tonearm. If you have any ground loops hum, they might help to eliminate it.
Are you sure the V15 is in good working order? If everything is working, you would at least get good quality front stereo out of the V15. It might not pick up there rear channels if the frequency response is not good enough on the high end.
Thanks for the clarification Bill.:)
