Q: I just bought a Stanton t.90 turntable. The sound is great. It only sounds distorted when it reaches the last song (the song closest to the middle of the record) on either side. This happens with every record. I noticed the same happened with an ION usb turntable I used town. Is this something that just happens with turntables in general?

A: Your problem is simple.Your stylus is worn out. As the smooth, rounded point of the stylus gets worn, it develops a chisel-like shape. As the arc of the radius of the record increases topward the end of the record, more and more of the sharp, worn edge is presented to the groove walls, causing distortion. Replace it right away. It can kill your discs real fast. If it's not the stylus, another thing to check is the anti-skate setting, if that machine has one. If it's set wrong, it can...

I have the Stanton STR860 Professional Turntable but I am missing the plug for it. Is there a place I can buy just the plug? Thanks!

These are available pretty much everywhere - Radio Shack, Walmart etc.

Why does my Stanton turntable play at 0% volume ? (you can hear it, but there's no amplification ...)?

The Deck

you can hear it, but it plays at the same volume as if it was turned off (like there's no signal amplification .. and when you rotate the turntable manually when its off ... it also plays at that same very super low volume level (which is normal for turntables) ... but what would cause it to not amplify the signal ? i checked the cables and i know they are not bad (since it plays at the same vol when its off..) needle is a brand new Gemini ...
it is a stanton...


A: Why do you question the turntable as oppose to the amplifier that you are connected to? Is the turntable connected with RCA plugs to the Phono line input of your amplifier? Try the Aux input with the turntable and see if that works. Since you didn't say what Stereo Amplifier you are using, I can only guess at the inputs it probably has.

When i try to find the first beat on my stanton t.50 turntable the needle skips to the middle on the vinyl.?

I can never find the first beat of a song because the needle always skips forward to about a quarter way in of the song. I don't know if it is my needle of the platter that wobbles that makes it do this. Suggestions??
