Change dealers then figure out if you need a new cartridge.Get rid of that dealer first though.
So what do you guys think I should do about this dealer situation? They have changed the age of the table three times on me, and now I am left to buy a new cartridge it sounds like. So far, I have still been nice to them but I am about to explode on the inside. I haven't even asked them to return the table, I still want it...I just want it working as advertised!!
Stuff like this really gets me going. I suggest demanding your money back or at least some back for the cartridge. I would return the table and find one here on Audiogon.
