Just got my pair of Stanton T60 decks out of the box for the first time in a while, and I'm not getting a signal out of either. I changed one of the cartridges with no luck. Whats likely to be wrong?

Have you checked what you have them connected to?

The best way is to connect your deck to the amp and remove the wires to the cartridge. Switch on the amp. With your finger, touch each of the cartridge wires one at a time. You should hear a loud buzz, one on either channel, from two of the wires. The other two wires may produce a slight buzz, but it doesn't matter if they do or don't. If you get no buzz from any of the wires then either the connections between the deck and amp are faulty or the pre-amp inside the amp has failed. This will not affect any other amp functions.

If you get a very weak buzz on the two channels, you have no magnetic cartridge pre-amp on your amp. In which case you need to connect the decks to a dedicated "phono" socket, which has one built in, or buy a Magnetic Cartridge Pre-amp.

I have a pair of Stanton T62s which I got about a year ago. I moved from SF to LA and now I can only hear static from my right turntable through my headphones. I don't have speakers yet and I thought...

Disconnect the wires to the cartridge on the turntable that has trouble. Then put your headphones and with it powered up. Touch each cable end of the loose wires of the cartridge one at a time with your finger. On two you should hear a buzz, one on each channel. On the other two wires you might get a slight buzz or a crackle, but don't expect anything. If you get a buzz on both channels. Then the cartridge is faulty. If you do not get a buzz on either channel then there is something wrong either inside the deck or the wiring to that deck.

TurnTable left channel no signal

Somewhere in the jack or the plug you have a wire broken. You will just have to look for it. If you have a volt ohm meter, this will aid you in finding the broken conductor. When you find the bad connection, you will probably have to solder it back together.
