I have 2 technic sl1200s and the right table has noise coming out of the speaker when i moved the tonearm. when music plays, it sounds like the treble and volume of the right speaker is weaker help please?

Possible internal damage on the unit, please replace back with the old unit to confirm if the connection pins and wiring are working. If so you need to check with a new unit.

I'd fix the tonearm issue first before using it to decide you have a feedback-related issue with one brand of cartridge. I can't say how that would be fixed.

Feedback? Like airborne sounds from the speakers vibrating the turntable and being amplified through the speakers? The biggest downside to old-school vinyl use is that possibility and the workarounds we had to use to prevent it. Acoustic and physical isolation are the only solutions.

you need to replace speakers

try gently pushing the tone arm (actually the piece of plastic holding the tone arm) over to the right a little. works for me, but it still gets stuck often

noise can be generated since dust in the jack connector of your PC, bad sound card or belive or not, the socket. try to unplug another devices and leave alone the x240... compare.

Some of those locking mechanism work wonderfully, others are flimsy. As long as your tonearm doesn't shake when a record plays, you'll be fine.

Just wondering how close your speakers are to your tables.Could be the tables pick up the low from the speakers.

first thing to do is take the left and put in in the right, do you get sound on the right?
now take the phono cartridge wires and move the left to the right and right to the left does the sound move or stay same place. if they move with or not tells you if the cartridge is bad or phono plugs. if they dont move it's the phono plugs if the does move it's the cart.

Well, it seems you answered your own question. Replace your stylus. If that doesn't solve your problem, the issue might be your RCA cables or tonearm.

What many people don't understand is that it takes ALOT to wear out a record. I mean, you would have to play a record about a good 1000 times before you'll see any sort of real wear/tear on it. Why do you think they last so long? Besides, record wear doesn't sound like that. With TRUE record wear you'll experience lots of skipping from your stylus, as the grooves have worn down. Also, you'll get alot of pan issues, where the sound goes in/out left/right side. The grooves of a record are a V shape, and the left side of the V carries the left signal, and the right side carries the right signal. With record wear, usually 1 side will wear out quicker than the other, and that's why you'll get inconsistencies with sound.

Unless you play the same record over and over again for the past few years, you wont see this kind of wear.

Replace your stylus first, then have your RCA cables and tonearm checked. Try cleaning out your tonearm with 99.9% PURE ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL and see if that does anything.

Good luck

This is a tonearm issue. Your tonearm probably has a loose ground connection, or if you moved it recently, may have been damaged in transit. Also, try and move your turntable to a different location in the room. If your near any serious power source (light dimmer switch, microwave, frig, etc), it will only amplify the issue. But other than that, it sounds like a common tonearm issue, and you will need to have your tonearm replaced.
