kevbayer Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I just got one of these today, doesn't come with a cartridge? Anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Do you have a budget? The arm on those can take a lot of cartridges. I suggest the AT120E (E/b is the new version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbayer Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I went with the Shure Sc35c, mostly because it was the best available locally. One thing i did notice was that the metal screws caused a ground loop hum when using the preamp. It was confusing at first to find the hum, but luckily the local hardware store had nylon screws, for a cheap fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Looks like that's more of a DJ cart. I would just return that one and shell out the extra $60 to get the 120E if you just plan on listening to your records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because DJ carts and tables are meant to be used with a mixer which isn't always earth so they generally ground through the earth on the left channel. You can try just leaving the earth wire off but this will only work if your amps left channel is grounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
