Why Would a Turntable Need More than 1 Arm ?


Sunday afternoon, just browsing the $5k and up turntables...why would a TT need more than 1 arm ? To try different cartridges ?

Do you think I could hear the diff between a $10k TT and my PF1000, same cart and stylus ?

Yes, Iwant to add the second arm to my Kuzma,it would be for monaural cart. Sweet!
Then I already have three turntables...
I only use two of them, but the Rega P5 has a Benz Glider.Mmmmm nice
The Kuzma has a Dynavector 17D3 .. also MMmmmm nice
In addition to stereo/mono reason, one might want different arms/cartridges for different music or/and different experience. How about two turntables with two/three arms each?
Is the use of a Mono/Stereo switch on a preamp/phono stage as effective an alternative to an arm (be it the first or a second arm) mounted with a mono cart/stylus. Is there any trade-off to doing it this way? Is the result the same? Thanks, bird
Many of my customers have more than 1 cartridge.

A single table with dual arms saves space and offers a degree of flexibility not found in a single arm configuration for the hobbyist who wants to experiment with different tonearm/cartridge combinations.
