Calvin Harris
and Dillon Francis
worked there... no way!
| Couple of questons. One of my tt's emits a very soft sound, very grumbly and distorted. I'm positive its a cartridge problem or possibly a grounding issue. What would happen is if i brought my hand near the cart, it would start making a weird sound. Even if the TT was turned off. My Cart is a Stanton 400.v3 or v.2.
- What Could be causing the problem above ?
- How can I fix it ?
and some questions out of curiosity:
- Can I replace a needle once its worn out ? or do i have to replace the entire cartridge once the needle wears out ?
- Can someone please point me in the direction of a guide with some general turntable advice ? Or maybe someone can give a noob some protips ?
Thank you all very much | Julio Tewell

As for your curiosity question about replacing, you only need to replace the needles and not the entire cartridge if the needle is worn out or needs replacing.
I just got 2 vestax pdx 2000, used. I know its not the turntable itself, because before buying them, i tested them out with the stores needles and a record, and it was fine. I bought these carts and never tested them in store. That is likely the problem.
And that is a relief! I was wondering if its an easy thing to do. Like can I just order some needles and pop 'em in?
