Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About?

I think it would be interesting/fun to create a list of 2 Tonearm TT’s

(2 arms or potential for 2 arms or more)

How did this happen? Covid Times, I upgraded eveything).

I listen to a lot of Jazz, both Stereo and Mono.

After learning here the advantages of a true mono cartridge, I wanted a second tonearm for a MONO cartridge ‘ready to go’. Got big plinth made for 2 arms, JVC VICTOR PL-2. Stereo cartridge on right, Mono cartridge rear.

Then I resurrected a MM Cartridge (new stylus from Jico). Squeezed an 'illegitimate' third tonearm on.

Right long arm is MC (fixed/difficult adjustments);

Rear Arm is MM (removable headshell/easy and quick adjustments of Tracking Force, Anti-Skate and VTA).

Left side arm MONO (fixed/difficult adjustments)

My setup for 78 RPM audio restoration:

Technics SP-10R in Albert Porter panzerholz plinth

Primary arm:

Fidelity Research FR-66S direct-wired with Shure V15 Vx and dozens of custom Expert Stylus stylii with various truncated elliptical and conical geometries

The experimental arm/cartridge:

Dynavector DV505 with Soundsmith Strain Gauge cartridge and about a dozen custom stylii wth similar geometries. Just got the Strain Gauge and have been testing it...with a few easy tweaks, it can easily work for acoustical and early electrical recordings. You just have to invert the RIAA treble and add in the period curve. I use CEDAR Cambridge and can do it live but prefer to do it all in post via Scott Wurcer's hyper-accurate curves published in Linear Audio magazine. S/N ratio seems to be an improvement on the Shure, but still evaluating. Early signs are great--very similar frequency response to the Shure, and great transient response. Vinyl 78s are almost tape-like...groove tracing seems to be on another level. I'm going to temper my enthusiasm until a few audio engineer friends weigh in!
