Cats - working hard to make digital better than vinyl every day.
Now I understand why the "no pets, no kids, no tobacco" disclaimer is so important!

Cat jumped on turntable
OK, I know the obvious response about this but moving past ditching the cat . . . I was playing my VPI Scout 'table with a Dynavector Karat cartridge when the cat (Jack) leaped onto the 'table. The tone arm slide across the record and the platter stopped. After addressing the situation, I didn't see any obvious problems (but I have an untrained eye) and dropped the needle. The tone arm immediately slide across the record to the center. Upon reflection, it seemed like the tone arm was light since it moved pretty effortlessly. Before taking it, I thought I would solicit some thoughts here.

Don't feel badly. This is one of the facts of life with a turntable. This year I snapped the cantilever right off, when my finger bumped it during fine tuning adjustments to make the sound better. Ha! My dealer is a gentle soul who took pity, and came over to install a replacement (repair would have been nearly as expensive as a new one). It sounds better than the old one, but that turned into an expensive tweak. Also, never dust under the tonearm because s*** happens and if the dustcloth catches the needle, it's done for. |
