Yes, just to be clear I would be very suspicious that something other than the cartridges is up.
Have cartridges been known to fail (Grado)?
The phono stages on McIntosh systems (2) are fine. I have a B&O turntable and it plays fine.
I tried brought my Garrard Lab80 and a Dual 1229 from my storage. They had the Grado DJ and Gold respectively. Both turntables worked fine before I stored them safely for a couple years. Hooked them back up and no sound, no hum, not a thing; so I’m wondering what happened. The cartridges were brought within a couple months of each other about 8 years ago.
I never had a cartridge die on me. Is there something wrong with the Grados?
I’d appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
